In the second half of the 19th century, Victorian civilization felt increasingly threatened by "outcast London". This is a study of the problem that was at the centre of the crisis: the casual poor and their relation with the labour market, with housing and with middle-class London.

Outcast London,
By Basbleu "W.R.C." (Abilene, TX USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Outcast London (Paperback)
I chose to read this book for a seminar I'm taking on Victorian Britain. I think all serious students of 19th century England should have this book; it is especially valuable as a reference work. Gareth Stedman Jones exhaustive research and meticulous writing are obvious, and the book is chock full of statistics. However, as a student of social history, I was disappointed that Outcast London did not contain much information on the lifestyles of the disenfranchised residents of Victorian London.
