It's Victorian London - and if you aren't rich, things are awful. (That's actually a pattern of all of humanity and of all time if you take a second to reflect on the greed.) Imagine, though, that it's specifically the kind of awful where you are on the streets selling yourself for money in order to buy crappy booze and sleep in an even crappier rooming house if you can.

Taylor read a lot of books for this - and although she doesn't believe that DNA evidence will ever find Jack the Ripper - she does believe that he probably snuck up on his victims while they were sleeping in alleyways, which I don't know changes it a bit.
