The first and possibly the greatest sociological study of poverty
in 19th-century London. Mayhew and his collaborators explored
hundreds of miles of London streets in the 1840s and 1850s,
gathering thousands of pages of testimony from the city's humblest
residents. A classic reference source for sociologists, historians,
and criminologists.
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 possessed 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'.
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
