{"product_id":"dirty-old-london-lee-jackson-9780300216110","title":"Dirty Old London: The Victorian Fight Against Filth","description":"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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lee Jackson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300216114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300216110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/24\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.00w x 1.10d","brand":"Lee Jackson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43913606922495,"sku":"9780300216110","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_0875b9a9-6cd1-4d74-acab-112c3425dc03.jpg?v=1680621328","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dirty-old-london-lee-jackson-9780300216110","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
