Seller's Description:
Middlesex. 1962. Penguin Books. 1st Penguin Paperback Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. Illustrated by Ronald Searle. 111 pages. paperback. 1856. Cover illustration by Ronald Searle. keywords: Literature England London Humor. FROM THE PUBLISHER-Henry Mayhew's famous survey, LONDON LABOUR AND THE LONDON POOR, painted a glaring picture of the poverty and degradation of the last century. THE BIG CITY-or THE NEW MAYHEW-stages the dim, pastel tragedies that are daily being enacted, is this century, between Holloway and Streatham. For the metropolis has no lack of poverty and degradation today, although much of it hides in the dark corners of tawdry souls. With the forlorn ambitions or dull resignation the Moving Picture Girl, the Encyclopaedia Seller, the Vicar, the Decayed Nobleman, the Literary man, or the Lady of the Streets pluck at the heart-strings like the echoes of a Victorian ballad. To this social round-up Alex Atkinson lends a unique flavour with the rotund and sentimental prose of the last century, and his portraits are exactly complemented by Ronald Searle's ludicrous-pathetic character-sketches. THE NEW MAYHEW, with its melancholy and satirical comment on our affluent society, first appeared in PUNCH. inventory #30848.
