Pictures From Mayhew. London 1850

Every Word In This Book By John Seed Is Drawn From Henry Mayhews Writings On London, Published In The 'morning Chronicle' From 1849 To 1850, Then In 63 Editions Of His Own Weekly Paper, 'london Labour And The London Poor' Between December 1850 And February 1852, And Then Again In The Four-volume Work Of The Same Title. From The Thousands Of Pages Of Mayhews Investigations, John Seed Has Selected A Few Hundred Extracts From Those Passages Where He Attempted To Record The Voices Of Londons Working People. He Has Cut And Rearranged The Source Texts, And Has Re-set Them As Poetry, Splitting The Lines In Such A Way As To Make Them Both More Easily Readable And Less Easily, Or Quickly Read, In An Attempt To Get Closer To The Original Voices.
