"Mayhew's text presents no difficulties. I have used the 1865 four-volume impression published by Charles Griffin & Co., Stationers' Hall Court, from which illustrations used here are also taken. The extracts are grouped according to volume, and the page reference to the 1865 edition is given for each. A few new headings have been introduced and a few of Mayhew's headings re-postioned in order to lend coherence to the selections presented here." (from page xxix in the note about the text)

Work Description

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.
