Description

Explore the complex history of urban living with The Eternal Slum: Housing and Social Policy in Victorian London. Published by Routledge, this work examines the persistent challenge of how to house the urban masses in an industrial society. This issue of overcrowding was a defining characteristic of nineteenth-century Victorian England and remained a widespread problem in major cities like London, Manchester, Glasgow, and Liverpool well into the twentieth century. As the first full-length examination of working-class housing issues in a British town, this book provides deep historical context. It investigates the social policies and the environment that shaped urban development. Readers interested in British history, social policy, and the evolution of urban living will find this a significant resource for understanding the historical roots of modern housing struggles.
