The London Underworld in the Victorian Period: Authentic First-Person Accounts by Beggars, Thieves and Prostitutes by Henry Mayhew

2.0

Extremely informative, but very dense and difficult to get through due to the dated structure of Mayhew's prose. It's not his fault, he wasn't writing for us, but all the same, the thing's a bit of a slog.
