Description

Vagabonds: Life on the Streets of Nineteenth-Century London by Oskar Jensen is a groundbreaking social history that brings to life the vibrant world of London's poor during its most compelling period. For the first time, this innovative work presents a nuanced and diverse portrait of the city's working classes, from beggars and thieves to musicians and missionaries, porters and hawkers to sex workers and street criers. Drawing on original research and first-hand accounts, Jensen sheds light on the lives of those often overlooked by history. A fascinating and thought-provoking read, this book challenges our understanding of late Georgian and Victorian London, revealing a bustling, cosmopolitan world that continues to fascinate us today.
