Project Gutenberg 2016-03-28 Public domain in the USA. 371 Mackay, William Bohemian Days in Fleet Street Transcribed from the 1913 John Long edition by David Price "Bohemian Days in Fleet Street" by William Mackay is a collection of autobiographical reminiscences likely written in the early 20th century. The book offers insights into the life of a journalist during a dynamic period in London's press history, contrasting the vibrant, jovial atmosphere of the past with the more somber, anxious nature of contemporary journalism. The opening of the memoir emphasizes Mackay's reflections on the changes in Fleet Street, inspired by another work called "The Street of Adventure." He mourns the decline of the once-thriving press environment he fondly remembers from the 1870s and 1880s, detailing the characteristics of journalists from that era—filled with vitality and camaraderie—compared to the anxious, joyless nature of their successors. Mackay hints at his personal journey into journalism and presents anecdotes that illustrate the contrasting atmospheres, all while hinting at the more profound societal shifts of the time.
