Biographical History

Epithet: the elder; of Add MS 40520

Pierce Egan, English sportswriter who became best known for his highly popular Life in London, illustrated by George and Robert Cruikshank.

From the description of Pierce Egan manuscript material : 2 items, 1836-1842 (New York Public Library). WorldCat record id: 182957648 From the guide to the Pierce Egan manuscript material : 2 items, 1836-1842, (The New York Public Library. Carl H. Pforzheimer Collection of Shelley and His Circle.)

Pierce Egan was an English journalist whose rowdy, bawdy tales of London night life came to exemplify the Regency. Born in London and apprenticed to a printer, Egan wrote several popular sketches but made his reputation as a sports journalist, eventually compiling one of the key histories of boxing. He is probably best remembered for Life in London, an authentic, first-hand account of the sprawling London underworld that became the unofficial guidebook to London during the Regency. Published as an illustrated serial, the work was enormously popular and influential.
