The Lambeth Cholera Outbreak of 1848-1849

$50.28

This work brings together a unique range of sources to reveal a forgotten episode in London''s history. Situated opposite Westminster on the south bank of the River Thames, by 1848 Lambeth''s waterfront had become London''s industrial center and a magnet to migrant workers. The book exposes the suffering of the working population in the face of apathy and ineptitude, and convincingly challenges the long-standing belief that London''s numerous cholera outbreaks beginning in 1832 were unrelated.
