First published in 1862, this is a remarkably vivid picture of an aspect of Victorian life that few other… writers of the age had dared to examine: the teeming underworld of 19th-century London.

Añadir al carritoHardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. 1st Thus. 336 pages with 12 full page plates from original wood-cuts. Crimson cloth, black lettering, dustwrapper a little rubbed at extremes, but clean and all tight. *The book has been edited down, originally part of a 3 volume set published between 1851-6…2. The author was co-founder of Punch and a good journalist and wrote like one, 2 of his brothers were also writers, one became sub-editor of Punch, friends of Charles Dickens and may have some influence on his stance on poverty and voice for "improvement". He also remarkably, recorded voices in their natural narrative that still seem as alive today as the day they spoke to him. At the time some of the street traders formed an association to stop the itinerants from talking to him as they felt their lives were being in some ways "ridiculed". But they weren't, far from it. Truth often hurts. 41 Miniature autobiographies collected in this edition.
