Binding condition: Good. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Unknown Mayhew presents a revelatory collection of Henry Mayhew's journalism, drawn from his groundbreaking mid-Victorian investigations into the lives of London's working poor. Edited and introduced by historians Eileen Yeo and E. P. Thompson, the volume uncovers a wealth of previously overlooked letters and reportage that Mayhew contributed to the Morning Chronicle between 1849 and 1850. With meticulous attention to class, labour, and poverty, the work chronicles the testimonies of costermongers, needlewomen, dock labourers, and street sellers in their own vivid words. Thompson and Yeo situate these extraordinary primary accounts within a rigorous historical framework, illustrating the stark social inequalities of industrial Britain. The result is an essential document in the history of social investigation and working-class experience.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130766762203,"sku":"2026100008287-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/b9acfe8c-addc-4ad0-ac2a-870bf9a8f6b3.png?v=1786589625","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100008287-secondhand-the-unknown-mayhew","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
