The book now traces the evolution of English society from the height of the British Empire to the dawn of the single European market. Making full use of the Annales school of French historiography, Bédarida takes his inquiry beyond conventional views to penetrate the attitudes, behaviour and psychology of the British people.

While government officials in the 1890s claimed that forcing families to take responsibility for caring for the aged was in the interest of the elderly, Edgar-André Montigny reveals that government policy had more to with saving money than a desire to serve the aged. He provides a harsh critique of Ontario government policies toward the elderly and their families at the end of the nineteenth century and highlights similarities between what happened in the 1890s and current policy reforms in the area of long-term care. Montigny argues that government played a central role in determining how society viewed the elderly and family obligations to them. Using census data, municipal records, and institutional case files, he demonstrates that the government created and promoted an image of the aged population that bore little resemblance to reality and manipulated the concept of family obligations to justify policies to reduce social welfare costs. The effect of these policies, passed in the name of helping the elderly and their families, was almost universally negative. By dispelling the myths that continue to influence public policy concerning the aged, Montigny provides a useful warning of the negative consequences of policies that are enacted to cut costs rather than to serve the population they are supposed to help.

Chronicles of the filth, foulness, and public health disasters found by “inspectors of nuisances” in a newly industrialized world. In the nineteenth century, as towns grew, Britain became increasingly grimy. The causes of dirt and pollution were defined legally as “nuisances” and, in 1835, the new local authorities very rapidly appointed an army of “inspectors of nuisances.” This book reveals the Victorian era from a very different point of view: it offers the inspectors’ eyewitness accounts and details the workings of the Parliamentary Committees that were set up in an attempt to ease the struggle against filth. Inspectors battled untreated human excreta in rivers black as ink, as well as unsanitary drinking water, home to tadpoles and portions of frogs so large that they blocked taps. They dealt with putrid animal carcasses in cattle markets and slaughterhouses, not to mention the unabated smoke from mill chimneys that covered towns with a thick layer of black grime. Boggle Hole Pond was a source of drinking water full of dead dogs; ice cream was coated in bugs; stinking rotting crabs, poultry, and pigeon smells polluted the air. Even the corpses floating out of badly drained burial grounds were “nuisances,” leading to the practice of burning the remains of the dead. This is the history of a grimy century in the throes of the Industrial Revolution, illustrating the many ways in which the country responded to the ever growing demands of a new world.
