| has gloss | (noun) the world of literary hacks Grub Street |
| has gloss | eng: Until the early 19th century, Grub Street was a street close to Londons impoverished Moorfields district that ran from Fore Street east of St Giles-without-Cripplegate north to Chiswell Street. Famous for its concentration of impoverished hack writers, aspiring poets, and low-end publishers and booksellers, Grub Street existed on the margins of Londons journalistic and literary scene. It was pierced along its length with narrow entrances to alleys and courts, many of which retained the names of early signboards. Its bohemian society was set amidst the impoverished neighbourhood's low-rent flophouses, brothels, and coffeehouses. |

| has gloss | dan: Indtil slutningen af det 19. århundrede var Grub Street en gade tæt på Londons fattige distrikt Moorfields som løb fra Fore Street øst for St Giles-without-Cripplegate og mod nord til Chiswell Street. Den er berømt for dens koncentration omkring fattige hack writers aspirinte poesier, og underklasse udgivere og bogsælgere. Grub Street eksiterede på randen af Londons journalistik- og litteraturscene. Den var gennemhullet med smalle indgange til gyder og gårde over hele dens længde, og det var derfor dengang, man begyndte at bruge skilte. Dens bohemistiske samfund var sat ind blandt det fattige underklassenabolags ikke færdigbyggede huse, bordeller og kaffehuse. |
