| Description: |
Extensive historical documents provide a rich context for Arthur Morrison's harrowing, controversial novel of London slum life. |
| Synopsis: |
Determined to write a novelthat accurately reflected the squalor and degradation of London's poorest andallegedly most criminal neighbourhood, Arthur Morrison spent eighteen monthsshadowing Jay and recording the district's complex social codes. The result wasa novel that raised disturbing questions about the alleged lawlessness of theslum, the effectiveness of philanthropic interventions in the lives of the poor, theevidence of moral decay and biological degeneration among the most deprived,and the proper role of the novelist. Vivid and unsentimental, A Child of the Jago isa unique portrait of Victorian London. |
