A CHILD OF THE JAGO (Old London Slum Series) ebook

Arthur Morrison's 'A Child of the Jago' is a poignant and gritty portrayal of life in the infamous Jago slum in Victorian London. Written in a realist style, the novel vividly captures the harsh realities of poverty, crime, and social inequality in the East End of London. Morrison's attention to detail and raw, unflinching depiction of the slum's inhabitants make the novel a compelling and thought-provoking read. 'A Child of the Jago' is a valuable piece of social commentary that sheds light on the marginalization of the urban poor in the late 19th century. Morrison's use of dialect and descriptions of everyday struggle immerse the reader in the squalor and desperation of the Jago. The novel is a powerful reminder of the enduring impact of poverty and class disparities. I highly recommend 'A Child of the Jago' to readers interested in historical fiction, social history, and the human experience in times of adversity.
