A street in the City of London, England. According to the 18th century writer Dr. Johnson, many poor writers lived here and wrote miscellaneous articles or worked as editors to make a living. From there, the word came to mean "a hackneyed writer" or "miscellaneous writing." The word was still in use in the 19th century, when the street's name changed to Milton Street, and novelist Gissing gave the title "New Grub Street Now" to one of his works.

イギリス,ロンドンのシティにある通り。18世紀の文人ジョンソン博士によると,ここに貧しい文筆業者が多く住み,生活のために雑文を書いたり,編集の仕事をしていた。そこからこの語は一般に〈三文文士〉または〈雑文(業)〉の意味を持つようになった。通りの名がミルトン街に変わった19世紀になってもこの語は通用し,小説家ギッシングは彼の作品に《当世グラッブ街New Grub Street》という題を与えた。【小池 滋】
