Recommendations. 330 $aFirst published in 1969, this book presents a one-volume anthology of Charles Booth's Life and Labour of the People in London , the classic early study of the poor in the urban environment. The original text consists of a vast compendium of descriptions of families, homes, streets, conditions of work, cultural and religious practices, much of it illustrated with charts, maps and statistics - giving the public an idea of the dimensions and meaning of poverty. The editors have selected the extracts in this book for their vividness, readability and intrinsic interest, and their introduction conveys the context of 1880s London - relating Booth's investigations to contemporary concerns. 410 0$aRoutledge revivals. 606 $aWorking class$zEngland$zLondon 606 $aPoor$zEngland$zLondon 607 $aLondon (England)$xSocial conditions 615 0$aWorking class 615 0$aPoor 676 $a309.1421 700 $aBooth$b Charles$f1840-1916.,$0125846 701 $aElman$b Richard M$0918253 701 $aFried$b Albert$0483666 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910165049903321 996 $aCharles Booth's London$92058890 997 $aUNINA
