Why did dustmen exercise a hold over the imagination of Regency and Victorian artists and writers? A study of the cultural representation of the dust trade, this book offers answers to this question by showing the ways in which London dustmen were associated with ideas of contamination, dirt, noise, violence, wealth, consumerism and threat.
