Need help to understand a sentence in a litterary text
Hello, I'm a french student who is studying English. I'm working on a text about the west and east ends of London during the Victorian period, and there's one sentence that I don't understand very well, even though I've searched for the meaning of the words.. I would be really greatful if someone could explain me what does this sentence actually mean. Here is the sentence:
"The East End of London is entirely too awful, and too intricate a neighborhood to be dismissed in a
chapter."
Thank you and have a nice day!
