Description
Low-Life Deeps: An Account Of The Strange Fish To Be Found There is a non-fiction book written by James Greenwood and first published in 1876. The book provides a detailed account of the lives of the people living in the slums of Victorian London, specifically in the area known as the ""low-life deeps."" Greenwood, a journalist, spent several months living among the poor and observing their daily lives, documenting their struggles, hardships, and the strange characters that inhabited the area. The book is divided into chapters that focus on different aspects of life in the slums, including descriptions of the crowded living conditions, the prevalence of crime and vice, the lives of the prostitutes and other marginalized members of society, and the harsh realities of poverty and disease. Throughout the book, Greenwood uses vivid and often shocking language to describe the squalor and depravity of the slums, painting a picture of a world that is both fascinating and deeply disturbing. Low-Life Deeps is an important historical document that provides a rare glimpse into the lives of the urban poor during the 19th century. The book has been praised for its detailed and empathetic portrayal of the people who lived in the slums, as well as for its powerful critique of the social and economic conditions that gave rise to such poverty and suffering.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
