This paper looks at the late Victorian society and their fears about the residuum in London. Residuum refers to the discontent amongst the working class, which worried the middle and upper classes, for fear of a socialist revolution. The paper presents the historical background to the Victorian era to support the argument, and highlights the various concerns that worried the upper classes. The paper concludes by deciding whether the Victorian fears about the residuum were justified.
