In this Oxford World’s Classics audio guide, listen to Robert Douglas-Fairhurst of Magdalen College, Oxford University – who edited and selected this new edition – introduce Henry Mayhew’s ‘London Labour and the London Poor’. ‘London Labour and the London Poor’ originated in a series of articles for a London newspaper and grew into a massive record of the daily life of Victorian London’s underclass.
