Vagrancy in English Culture and Society, 1650-1750
Author: David HitchcockPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1472589963
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title 2017 The first social and cultural history of vagrancy between 1650 and 1750, this book combines sources from across England and the Atlantic world to describe the shifting and desperate experiences of the very poorest and most marginalized of people in early modernity; the outcasts, the wandering destitute, the disabled veteran, the aged labourer, the solitary pregnant woman on the road and those referred to as vagabonds and beggars are all explored in this comprehensive account of the subject. Using a rich array of archival and literary sources, Vagrancy in English Culture and Society, 1650-1750 offers a history not only of the experiences of vagrants themselves, but also of how the settled 'better sort' perceived vagrancy, how it was culturally represented in both popular and elite literature as a shadowy underworld of dissembling rogues, gypsies, and pedlars, and how these representations powerfully affected the lives of vagrants themselves. Hitchcock's is an important study for all scholars and students interested in the social and cultural history of early modern England.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Handbook to County Bibliography: Being a Bibliography of Bibliographies Relating to the Counties and Towns of Great Britain and Ireland Descriptive or bibliographical accounts of parochial documents are included, but Parish Registers themselves, unless accompanied by bibliographical notes, do not come within the scheme. Calendars of local documents are included, but not Calendars of Wills, because I hope later to issue a separate velon'e which will give a bibliography of books on Wills, arranged under counties. The auxiliary lists at the end, printed as appendices, contain chie y such references as I have thought might get overlooked. These appendices designedly omit many well-known hooks, and they are purposely limited to the less-known bibliographies, indexes, &c.
