I bought this book of the Kindle version after seeing preview of the paper book version.
But no picture in the Kindle version.
Really disappointed.

A brilliant new book about the seedy side of Victorian London by a talented young historian.
In 1887, government inspectors were sent to report on the horrifying, often lethal, living conditions of the Old Nichol, a notorious 15-acre slum in London’s East End. Among much else, they found that the rotting 100-year-old houses were some of the most lucrative properties in the capital for their absent slumlords. Peers of the Realm, local politicians, churchmen and lawyers were making profits on these death-traps of as much as 150 per cent per annum. Before long, Old Nichol became a focus of public attention: its 6,000 inhabitants were condemned for their drunkenness and criminality. The solution to the “problem” lay in internment camps, some said, or forced emigration — even eugenics.
The Blackest Streets focuses on the last fifteen years of the nineteenth century, a turbulent period in London’s history, when revolution was very much in the air — when unemployment, agricultural depression and a crackdown on parish relief provided a breeding ground for communists and anarchists.
Sarah Wise explores the real lives behind the statistics, excavating the Old Nichol from the ruins of history, laying bare the social and political conditions that created and sustained this black hole at the very heart of the Empire.
From the Hardcover edition.

Absorbing story of the poor in East London
2020年12月7日にカナダでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
The Nichol was an area of 19th century East London known for its notoriously bad living conditions, but Sarah Wise scratches deeply beyond that surface description to reveal the story of people who were not the sum of their surroundings. Ms. Wise is a very accomplished social historian, well-versed in the work of Charles Booth with a writing style that keeps the reader absorbed.

Probably a good book, but after one look its on the bookshelf to stay as the font size is far too small for me to read

Into the darkest despair.........

As a family historian who has a few ancestors from this area I found this book fascinating. Sarah introduces us to the horror of life in this part of London and then she takes us into the work of those who found that people living like this is unacceptable. A great addition to a library of books about London or as an insight as to how our ancestors lived. This book leaves me in awe that my forebears survived long enough to hand their genes down to me.

I enjoy doing genealogy. My paternal grandfather was born in Bethnal Green/Old Nichol, east end of London, England. Knowing this and finding this book took me back in time, to see the conditions of where he spent his first 12 years of life and in turn I think assisted him to make decisions that would benefit his family for generations to come. I was very intrigued by the book and its so well written/interesting I found it difficult to put it down. If you enjoy history and want to learn more about Victorian London, I would highly recommend this read! I enjoyed it.
