Produced between 1850 and 1862, London Labour and the London Poor
is one of the most significant examples of nineteenth century oral
history. The collection teems with the minute particulars of the
everyday-bits and pieces of London lives assembled into a
precarious whole by the author, editor, and principal investigator,
Henry Mayhew. Mayhew was interested in the social fabric of
people's lives, their labour and earnings, but also their families,
education, leisure time, and religious beliefs. What gives his
"case studies" such immediacy is that they seem to flow unprompted
and uninterrupted from the mouths of his subjects: street sellers,
dock labourers, musicians, rat catchers, vagrants, chimney sweeps,
thieves, and prostitutes. All are captured in this newly annotated
and abridged edition of Mayhew's four-volume work. Historical
appendices include a contemporary map of London, reviews of London
Labour, and other slum journalism from the period. Key features The
only edition with appendices
