Jack London’s account of poverty in 1902 London
Drawing on experiences from the summer of 1902, Jack London documents the conditions faced by poor people in London. The book frames his observations as an exploration of the city’s “under-world,” connecting one reporter’s experience to the hardships endured by a much larger population. Its historical subject is urban poverty, approached through firsthand observation and nonfiction reporting.
Based on publisher information and book metadata.
This nonfiction book is considered by some to be a brilliant piece of journalism. From the author's preface: "The experiences related in this volume fell to me in the summer of 1902. I went down into the under-world of London with an attitude of mind which I may best liken to that of the explorer."
The conditions London experienced and wrote about were the same as those endured by an estimated 500,000 of the contemporary London poor.
