London Labour and the London Poor

Description:

*London Labour and the London Poor* was originally a series of articles, later published in four volumes, written for the *Morning Chronicle* in 1849 and 1850 by journalist Henry Mayhew. Mayhew aimed simply to report the realities of the poor from a compassionate and practical outlook. He was succesful, and the underprivileged of London become extraordinarily and often shockingly alive.
