London Labour and the London Poor Paperback - 1986
by Henry Mayhew; Selected by Victor E. Neuburg; Introduction by Victor E. Neuburg
Unflinching reports of London's poor from a prolific and influential English writer
London Labour and the London Poor originated in a series of articles, later published in four volumes, written for the Morning Chronicle in 1849 and 1850 when journalist Henry Mayhew was at the height of his career. Mayhew aimed simply to report the realities of the poor from a compassionate and practical outlook. This penetrating selection shows how well he succeeded: the underprivileged of London become extraordinarily and often shockingly alive.
