Friedrich Engels: Industrial Manchester

"The town itself is peculiarly built, so that a person may live in it for years, and go in and out daily without coming into contact with a working-people's quarter or even with workers, that is, so long as he confines himself to his business or to pleasure walks. This arises chiefly from the fact, that by unconscious tacit agreement, as well as with outspoken conscious determination, the working people's quarters are sharply separated from the sections of the city reserved for the middle-class; . . ." -----class segregation 

"Of the irregular cramming together of dwellings in ways which defy all rational plan, of the tangle in which they are crowded literally one upon the other, it is impossible to convey an idea." --- describing how terribly random the conditions and planning of workers's houses are.

after the french revolution. even though the revolution succeeded in abolishing the French monarchy, it didn't bring about the same revolutionary progress in decorative arts or other art styles.  The fault between public lives and private. History progressed but the newborn society hadn't caught up.
