London's 'Chinese Quarter' owed its notoriety to the Yellow Perilism that circulated in Britain at the fin-de-siecle, a demonology of race and vice masked by outward concerns about degenerative metropolitan blight and imperial decline. Focusing on Thomas Burke's "Limehouse Nights" (1916), this book contextualises the cult of Chinatown in London.
