The volume analyses the role of dirt and the abject in modern culture through literary and cultural materials from London, Paris, and their colonies in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The essays range from sewers and bourgeois sanitary phobias to the representation of working women and foreigners as contaminating agents.
The volume brings together twelve contributions, all previously unpublished except one, and was originally published in 2004.
For readers interested in cultural history, nineteenth-century literary criticism, and studies of hygiene, gender, and colonialism.
