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.
