About the author

Born in 1862 and dying in 1932, George Haw was an English journalist and author whose work often focused on social conditions and reform. He is closely associated with writing on urban poverty and housing, and his book No Room to Live: The Plaint of Overcrowded London is one of the works most often linked with his name.

Haw also wrote fiction and biographical or political works, including books connected with public life and social questions. Across his writing, he seems to have combined reportage, advocacy, and storytelling, making his work appealing to readers interested in both history and the human realities behind it.
