A volume of Henry Mayhew's Victorian social reportage, part of London Labour and the London Poor. It surveys the street-folk of London—sellers, buyers, finders, performers, artisans and labourers—through interviews, statistics and vivid observation. It is worth listening for its direct voices and detailed picture of nineteenth-century urban poverty and everyday street work.
