Samuel Johnson said that Grubb street was much inhabited by writers of small histories (newspapers) such as Ditchen Rizz and temporary poems
atleast one civil war book was published in the street
1850's-1860's was the explosion of news books and other unlicensed publications
fugitive printers lived there with their moonshine presses from one garrote to the next
the term Grub Street was first recorded in its non-geographical sense in 1930 and became more prevalent during the civil war when both sides paid the authors of news books to fight a paper war on their behalf
it is a metaphor for the Hacked writer. The work Hack derived from Hackney originally meaning a horse for hire and later a prostitute for hire and then finally a writer for hire
