Life on London's Underbelly in the Victorian Era: True Stories Told by Beggars, Thieves and Sellers
9.99 €
This is the first and most comprehensive study of London's underworld undertaken by publisher and journalist Henry Mayhew in the mid-nineteenth century. The author and his assistants visited the slums of the East End and collected true accounts of thieves, corrupt women, and other social outcasts who made a dishonest living by profiting from the vice or gullibility of the city's wealthier citizens. This book is a source of invaluable information for sociologists, historians, and criminologists; you will find some truly Dickensian stories in it, and you will see that in the past century and a half, the mores of the townspeople and the methods of crooks have not changed that much.
