Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0224071750, Hardcover)

Set in a turbulent period in England, the book highlights the horrors and hypocrisies surrounding a late-19th century slum known as Old Nichol. Sarah Wise turns a light on the “respectable” commentators of the time, laying bare a black hole at the heart of the Empire.
