Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Gypsies, Egyptians, Romanies, and--more recently--Travellers. Who are these marginal and mysterious people who first arrived in England in early Tudor times? Are claims of their distant origins on the Indian subcontinent true, or just another of the many myths and stories that have accreted around them over time? Can they even be regarded as a single people or ethnicity at all?Gypsies have frequently been vilified, and not much less frequentlyromanticized, by the settled population over the centuries. Social historian David Cressy now attempts to disentangle the myth from the reality of Gypsy life over more than half a millennium of Englishhistory. In this, the first comprehensive historical study of the doings and dealings of Gypsies in England, he draws on original archival research, and a wide range of reading, to trace the many moments when Gypsy lives became entangled with those of villagers and townsfolk, religious and secular authorities, and social and moral reformers.Crucially, it is a story not just of the Gypsy community and its peculiarities, but also of England's treatment of that community,from draconian Elizabethan statutes, through various degrees of toleration and fascination, right up to the tabloid newspaper campaigns against Gypsy and Traveller encampments of more recent years. The story of Gypsies in England, from their first appearance in early Tudor times to the present day. A book that disentangles the rich and sometimes lurid myth from the everyday reality of Gypsy life over more than half a millennium of English history.
