Summary "A Child of the Jago" by Arthur Morrison is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in the East End of London, specifically within the notoriously grimy and dangerous neighborhood known as the Jago, chronicling the harsh realities faced by its impoverished inhabitants. The novel revolves around young Dicky Perrott, along with a cast of vivid characters that portray the struggles and moral dilemmas of living in such a brutal environment. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the oppressive atmosphere of the Old Jago during a hot summer night when the streets are filled with the destitute and weary individuals unable to find respite within their filthy surroundings. Characters like Kiddo Cook and Mr. Beveridge provide a glimpse into the daily lives of those who inhabit this space, engaging in petty crimes and grappling with the harshness of their reality. The narrative immerses readers in Dicky's world, where he navigates the dangers of his upbringing and seeks food and safety, revealing the complex dynamics between survival, theft, and familial relationships amidst the backdrop of violence and despair that permeates life in the Jago.
