PREFACE IT is not claimed for this book that it supplies a long-felt want, or that it is at all necessary to the better understanding of the immortal work which inspired it. Nor does the author offer any apology for adding yet another volume to the long list of books, already existing, which deal in some way or other with England's classic book of humour, because it isn't so much his fault as might appear on the surface. A year or two ago he contributed to an American paper a series of twenty articles on some of the prominent inns mentioned in the works of Dickens, and before the series was completed he received many overtures to publish them in volume form.

  • A Counter Guide to Free Labour in the Arts 2
    SURVIVING INTERNSHIPS A COUNTER GUIDE TO FREE LABOUR IN THE ARTS 2 The Guide This guide has been produced by the Carrot Work- ers‘ Collective in London. It attempts to explore and debunk some commonly held myths around creative careers and provide some survival tools for those cur- rently working in the creative sector. This guide asks: is unpaid interning essential for a job in the creative sector? Does interning and free labour automatically lead to paid work? Do those who work in the creative industry actually do creative work? Why do we often think that cultural work isn‘t ‘real work‘, and therefore that cultural workers don‘t deserve the same rights as everyone else? The contents of the guide are based on real life experiences of cultural workers in London who tell it like it really is, sharing the fears and desires that motivate their work, their experiences of disap- pointment and survival, and also, importantly, suggest- ing how we could organise our work otherwise. Who are we? The Carrot Workers‘ Collective is a London-based group of cultural workers, interns, teachers and researchers who regularly meet to think and work together around the conditions of free labour in con- temporary society. We aim to understand the impact of free labour on material conditions, subjectivity, life expectations and desires. Why ‘The Carrot‘? The Carrot represents the promise of paid work, meaningful experience, success and stability which in the cultural sector, more often than not, is never actu- ally realised. More generally ‘the carrot‘ signifies the hope that we might organise our work around ‘creativ- ity‘ rather than drudgery; an aspiration that is used to prompt, cajole and sometimes blackmail workers into long-term and recurring periods of free and precari- ous labour.
