"British historian Oskar Jensen combs through hundreds of late Georgian and Victorian primary and secondary accounts to document the stories of London's poor through their own voices. What emerges is a buzzing world of the working classes, diverse in gender, ethnicity, ability, origin, and occupation. The stories in Vagabonds form a moving picture of people in poverty and a reminder of the power of the human spirit--but also of the suffering begotten by a society divided into rich and poor."--
