Zola headed to the East End of London.. he visited the ‘Rowton lodging-houses, Rothschild almshouses, various sweaters ‘ dens, sundry Jewish homes of Whitechapel, and Italian ones at Saffron Hill‘.(In passing, I can‘t help but note that at this very time several of my own great-grandparents were living in ‘sundry Jewish homes of Whitechapel‘!)

Just one chapter in I am already engrossed in this fascinating account of Emile Zola's departure from France following his defeat in the libel case originating from his support for Captain Dreyfus.
