Présentation de l'éditeur
Essential reading for anyone interested in social history and the history of London. Professor William Fishman shows what life was like for the labouring poor in the year of Jack the Ripper and the Matchgirls' strike, when poverty, crime, disease and social unrest were at their height. The communal life of the street, pubs and clubs softened the brutality of the daily grind, where the sweatshop, the ghetto, the poor tenement - and the threat of the workhouse - were ever present in an age of genuine 'Victorian values'.

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. Second Impession. PaperbackEast End 1888 was not the sort of place where one might live long. Indeed many lives would be very brief, and death could quite often be public. Death is ever present, especially in the popular fear of hospital or workhouse, places one would never come out of alive: better, at least, to die among one's own. And yet it is also a landscape peopled by a varied humanity: wry, resourceful, violent, drunken, thieving, tenacious, ingenious, rich in comic inventiveness, supportive - as well as despairing, defenceless, rejected and hopeless. This is a book about people and, as such, the very opposite of a mechanical excursion into bleak economic tables. It is carried, from start to finish, by an abiding compassion for the victims, especially the most vulnerable: the deaf and dumb, the physically handicapped, the bewildered "greener" just off the boat, the seasonally unemployed and the recent immigrants from the areas of extreme agricultural depression from the 1870s. One of the most moving chapters concerns women and children: the former subjected to regular Saturday-night beatings-up, driven into prositution, embarked as cheap labour in the sweatshops or, if lucky, found places as overworked domestic servants in middle-class households. The children cannot speak for themselves, but much of the marvellously eloquent illustrative material provided informs at least about their predicament. This harrowing chapter is one of the best in the bok, illustrating the author's ability to use to convincing effect a whole series of personal case histories, most of the brutal in their brevity and repetitivenesst - "Orphan", "Deserted", "Child of Widow" - but still providing tiny windows of hope on a future however predictable and collective. This is a very good book, not merely because it is compassionate, but because it is most unrevolutonary - a book that helps to warm the human spirit. Illustrated. N° de réf. du vendeur 008965
