Arthur Morrison. · Rating details · ratings · 63 reviews. This novel, first published in , is the story of Dick Perrot, born and bred in the Jago; but it is also a brilliant portrait of the community. The Jago is a London slum where crime and violence are the only way of life, and from which there is no escape for the inhabitants. 'The Jago’ of Morrison’s title was the scarcely disguised ‘Old Nichol’ slum, which stood, until the mids, just behind Shoreditch High Street, on its eastern side. Published in November , A Child of the Jago caused an instant furore. Few reviewers of the novel had failed to be impressed by the power of Morrison’s fiction – the savagery of the depiction of street violence, the pathos of neglected, diseased infants, the scathing attack on high-minded philanthropic.
