简介
With an Introduction by Rosemary O'Day. London Labour and the
London Poor is a masterpiece of personal inquiry and social
observation. It is the classic account of life below the margins in
the greatest Metropolis in the world and a compelling portrait of
the habits, tastes, amusements, appearance, speech, humour,
earnings and opinions of the labouring poor at the time of the
Great Exhibition. In scope, depth and detail it remains unrivalled.
Mayhew takes us into the abyss, into a world without fixed
employment where skills are declining and insecurity mounting, a
world of criminality, pauperism and vice, of unorthodox personal
relations and fluid families, a world from which regularity is
absent and prosperity has departed. Making sense of this
environment required curiosity, imagination and a novelist s eye
for detail, and Henry Mayhew poss????essed all three. No previous
writer had succeeded in presenting the poor through their own
stories and in their own words, and in this undertaking Mayhew
rivals his contemporary Dickens. To pass from one to the other,
writes one authority, is to cross sides of the same street. With an
