Abstract

The article focuses on the book "London Labour and the London Poor," by Henry Mayhew. It states that the book was considered as a detailed transcription of the lives in London in 19th century. It says that the book reflects the connection of noise and civilisation in London, England. It argues that Mayhew was able to reflects his concerns on the materiality of writing as a communication tool.
