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."--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aCultures of early modern Europe. 606 $aRogues and vagabonds in literature 606 $aVagrancy in literature 606 $aVagrancy$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aVagrancy$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 606 $2Early modern history: c 1450/1500 to c 1700 615 0$aRogues and vagabonds in literature. 615 0$aVagrancy in literature. 615 0$aVagrancy$xHistory 615 0$aVagrancy$xHistory 676 $a364.1/48094209032 700 $aHitchcock$b David J.$01510339 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798429003321 996 $aVagrancy in English culture and society, 1650-1750$93742924 997 $aUNINA
