Homes of the London Poor and the Bitter Cry of Outcast London available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Originally published together in 1970, this study collects two essays on the housing situation of London in the nineteenth century. Homes of the London Poor was first published in 1875 and written by Octavia Hill, the granddaughter of the pioneer of sanitary reformation, Dr. T. Southwood Smith. Influenced by his work and by Christian socialism, she aims to outline the housing problems in London present in her lifetime and how reformation could help those in need of affordable and sanitary housing. The second text comes from a pamphlet written by Andrew Mearns in 1883 which highlights the overcrowded and unsanitary housing conditions that were still a major issue eight years after Hill’s work was published. Both works together present a clear picture of the appalling conditions the poor and homeless were forced into in Victorian London. This title will be of interest to students of history and social work.

Download and read online ebook Paved with Gold write by Augustus Mayhew. This book was released on 2012-11-12. Paved with Gold available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. First Published in 1971. Part of the Library of eight volumes on Victorian Times, this was subtitled as 'an unfashionable novel' when published. Toward the end of his short but informative preface to Paved With Gold, first published in book form in 1858, Augustus Mayhew states that the descriptions of boy-life in the streets, the habits and customs of donkey-drivers, the peculiarities of trampdom and vagrancy, have all resulted from long and patient inquiries among the individuals themselves. The convincing liveliness of these passages testifies to his minute and accurate knowledge of London lower-class life, and this personal experience of the low life he 'romanced' about is, in turn, the basis of our interest in Paved With Gold.

Download and read online ebook Outcast London write by Gareth Stedman Jones. This book was released on 2014-08-19. Outcast London available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. In the second half of the nineteenth century, Victorian middle and upper classes felt increasingly threatened by the masses of “outcast London.” Gareth Stedman Jones, working from a mass of statistical and documentary evidence, argues that after 1850 London passed through a crisis of social and economic development. Outcast London is a fascinating and important study of the problem at the center of the crisis: the casual poor and their fraught relations with the labor market, with housing and with middle-class London.
