"This is a tightly argued, meticulously researched history of sanitation that reads like a novel."--Paula Byrne, The Times  , "This is a tightly argued, meticulously researched history of sanitation that reads like a novel."--Paula Byrne, The Times "Lee Jackson stops to have a good poke around - and consider in fascinating, sometimes gruesome detail, the filth and nuisances of the time . . . Utterly engrossing."--Jo Baker, The New York Times Book Review "Mr Jackson has written a book that is neat and sparkling, unlike his subject matter."--Emily Cockayne, Wall Street Journal Europe "Impressive . . . [Lee] Jackson has written a book that is neat and sparkling, unlike his subject matter."--Emily Cockayne, The Wall Street Journal "Rich in wonderful contemporary details gleaned from newspapers and archives, Jackson's study is a vivid account of the enormous challenges faced by a city expanding at an unprecedented rate."--P.

Jackson manages to make a disgusting topic much funnier than one would expect."-- Library Journal "Jackson demonstrates the unimaginable filth that permeated London during the 19th century . . .

I loved it."--Liza Picard, author of Victorian London "The squalor of Victorian London was proverbial.

Synopsis
In Victorian London, filth was everywhere: horse traffic filled the streets with dung, household rubbish went uncollected, cesspools brimmed with "night soil," graveyards teemed with rotting corpses, the air itself was choked with smoke. In this intimately visceral book, Lee Jackson guides us through the underbelly of the Victorian metropolis, introducing us to the men and women who struggled to stem a rising tide of pollution and dirt, and the forces that opposed them. Through thematic chapters, Jackson describes how Victorian reformers met with both triumph and disaster. Full of individual stories and overlooked details--from the dustmen who grew rich from recycling, to the peculiar history of the public toilet--this riveting book gives us a fresh insight into the minutiae of daily life and the wider challenges posed by the unprecedented growth of the Victorian capital.
