Beschreibung
Examines the seedier side of Victorian life, and a turbulent period of history when revolution was in the air. In 1887, Government inspectors investigated a slum on the boundary of Bethnal Green where the mortality rate was twice as high as everywhere else. They discovered that the properties were owned by peers, politicians and churchmen. von Wise, Sarah
