Description

The Eternal Slum offers the first comprehensive examination of working-class housing challenges in Victorian England, exploring how industrial societies grappled with urban overcrowding during the nineteenth century. This Routledge publication investigates housing conditions in British towns, revealing persistent problems that plagued London, Manchester, Glasgow, and Liverpool well into the twentieth century. Despite ongoing activism and reform efforts, overcrowding remained a defining characteristic of urban life, creating urgent questions about where and how to house the urban masses. The book contextualises these housing crises within broader social and policy developments, providing historical insight into a problem that continues to shape modern urban planning and social policy debates today.

Key Features

The Eternal Slum examines working-class housing issues across major British industrial cities including London, Manchester, Glasgow, and Liverpool.

Published by Routledge, this is the first full-length study dedicated to Victorian housing overcrowding and its persistence into the twentieth century.

The book explores nineteenth-century social policy responses to urban housing shortages and their limitations.

Provides historical context for understanding contemporary housing and social policy challenges in industrial societies.
