Victorian 'East-Enders' were not as poor, jingoistic, anti-immigrant or politically Conservative as they are usually considered to be. This book shows that it was local networks and links, often of better-off workers with their local churches, which instead provided the basis for most of the support for this apparent 'Conservatism of the slums'.
