About this listen
The Cleveland Street scandal, involving a homosexual brothel reputedly visited by the queen's grandson, shocked Victorian Britain in 1889. This is the first full-length account of one of its key players, Jack Saul, a working-class, Irish-Catholic rent boy who worked his way into the upper echelons of the aristocracy, and wrote the notorious pornographic memoir The Sins of the Cities of the Plain. Glenn Chandler, creator of Taggart, explores his colorful but tragic life and reveals for the first time the true story about what really went on behind the velvet curtains of Number 19 Cleveland Street.

Great piece of little known history
At the height of the great British Empire, the sun never rose on its lower class and colonized subjects. This is in stark contrast to the Victorian sensibilities of a society that was quite at home with the idea of privilege being above the masses and therefore justifying a dual standard. This book exposes the rot that brought down the empire that was never supposed to be.
