Why did slums and suburbs develop simultaneously? Did the
capitalist system produce these, and were class antagonisms to
blame? Why did the Victorians believe there was a housing problem,
and who or what created it? What housing solutions were attempted,
and how successfully? These are amongst the central questions
addressed by social and urban historians in recent years, and their
arguments and analyses are reviewed here. The history of housing
between 1780 and 1914 encapsulates many problems associated with
the transition from a largely rural to an overwhelmingly urban
nation. The unprecedented pace of this transition imposed immense
tensions within society, with implications for the urban
environment and for local and national government. Housing is
central to an understanding of the social, economic, political and
cultural forces in nineteenth-century history; this book is an
ideal introduction to the topic.
