About This Item
London England: Frank Cass and Co Limited, 1983. Henry Mayhew's London Labour and the London Poor, written for the Morning Chronicle during 1849 to 1851, was only a part of a vast general survey covering the industrial, manufacturing and agricultural areas of England and Wales. This journalistic precedent set the state of the working classes of Britain before the public with clarity, insight and honesty. Consisting mainly of verbatim statements from the people themselves, it was as though the inarticulate masses had learned to speak with one firm voice. These volumes will do much to rectify the deficiencies in our knowledge of working-class life in 19th-century England and Wales, and to sharpen our perspective on and increase our understanding of the impact of industrialization .216pp including index.
