Jürgen Hubert's comment on London Labour and the London Poor

Jürgen Hubert wants to read London Labour and the London Poor by Henry Mayhew

Henry Mayhew: London Labour and the London Poor (1985)

No rating

London Labour and the London Poor is a work of Victorian journalism by Henry Mayhew. …

I bought this book before I became aware that it's available as a free ebook at #ProjectGutenberg . But either way, I expect that it will be a great resource for the "Industrial Age Fantasy" #ttrpg setting I am (very slowly) developing.

If you want to check out the ebook versions, here they are:

@juergen_hubert Any book that touches on the subject (industrial age cities in general, Victorian England and Lond in particular) that doesn't include this really hasn't had the research done.

@juergen_hubert Although a later book, you may also wish to read the novel “The Jungle” (1901) by Upton Sinclair. Lots of well-researched class struggle in this book.
