Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book uncovers the complex roots of professional begging and vagrancy in the mid-19th century, tracing the shift from medieval attitudes and practices towards poverty and the poor through to the modern era. It argues that industrialization and urbanization created new forms of precarious employment and social instability, pushing many into a life of itinerant begging. The author sheds light on the historical origins of the problem within societal changes and government responses, delving into extensive research and primary sources from the period. By examining beggar and vagrant narratives, they offer a nuanced understanding of the social and economic conditions that shaped this marginalized group and the misguided or ineffective solutions employed to address it.
