OM BOKEN:
If you don't find Charles Dickens too sentimental there are plenty of opportunities to celebrate the 200th anniversary of his birth. But if you're interested in knowing more about the truly raw end of life in Victorian London, forget Dickens and try the work that influenced him with Henry Mayhew's London Characters and Crooks. The book is a compilation based on his ground-breaking documentary work London Labour and the London Poor.
OM FORFATTEREN
Henry Mayhew (1812-1887) was an English social researcher, journalist, playwright and advocate of reform. He was one of the co-founders of the satirical and humorous magazine Punch in 1841. His chronicling of London's poor grew from pieces written for magazines. He is also known for his work as a social researcher, publishing an extensive series of newspaper articles in the Morning Chronicle that was later compiled into the book series London Labour and the London Poor (1851), a groundbreaking and influential survey of the city's poor.
