Through detailed interviews and careful observations, Mayhew documents the lives of London's working poor—from rat catchers to street sellers, mudlarks to pure-finders collecting dog dung. He captures the chaos of street markets, the desperation of obsolete trades, and the precarious existence of thousands in the world's richest city. Combining vivid descriptions with statistical analysis, Mayhew creates an unparalleled portrait of Victorian London's hidden underclass. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
