This Dover Edition (Orig. 1968) is an unabridged republication of the work as published by Griffin, Bohn, & Company in 1861-1862, to which has been added a new Introduction by John D. Rosenberg. This is the first & possibly the greatest sociological study of the subculture of poverty in 19th-century London. In Mayhew's own words, it is the first book "to publish the history of a people, from the lips of the people themselves, providing a literal description of their labor, their earnings, their trials, their suffering, in their own 'unvarnished' language." Mayhew invented 'oral history' a century before the term was coined, & was the original explorer of a class--& an aspect of London--with which polite literate society was only familiar through the pages of novels. Mayhew walked 100s of miles of London Streets in the 1840s & 1850s, gathering 1000s of pages of testimony from costermongers & street hawkers, thieves, swindlers & pickpockets, prostitutes & vagrants, rag pickers, street performers, &c. W/ Victorian dedication & energy, he uncovered & codified data on the modern urban proletariat. The vast scope of his undertaking & the minuteness of detail make his work a major repository of information on 19th-century London & its poorer citizens.These compellingly readable 4 volumes have long been a basic source-book for sociologists, historians, criminologists. The men, women, & children who tell their stories in these pages are often all but indistinguishable from the characters of a Dickens novel. As Thackeray wrote, Mayhew provides us w/ "a picture of human life so wonderful, so awful, so piteous & pathetic, so exciting & terrible, that readers of romances own they never read anything like to it." * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE individually wraps & custom packages ea. of the four volumes of this exceptional volume w/ our greatest care for FREE shipment to all U.S. locations via USPS MEDIA MAIL or via USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost charge of $14.00.
