First Edition
Ashton, Rosemary, 1947-. One hot summer: Dickens, Darwin, Disraeli, and the great stink of 1858. New Haven: Yale University Press, 2017, 1st printing number line, , very good dust-jacket, very good green cloth. London, 1858. Noteworthy for its broiling summer months and the related stench of the sewage-filled Thames River, the year is otherwise little remembered. Ashton reveals that thanks to significant, if unrecognized, turning points the months from May to August turned out to be a summer of consequence. She mines Victorian letters and gossip, diaries, court records, newspapers, and other contemporary sources to uncover historically crucial moments in the lives of three protagonists: Charles Dickens, Charles Darwin, and Benjamin Disraeli. Invisible threads of connection among Londoners at every social level in 1858 bring the celebrated city and its citizens vibrantly to life. ISBN 9780300227260.
