Description

Explore the compelling social history of Britain's street poor across nearly two centuries in this Routledge Revivals edition. Lionel Rose's detailed 1988 study examines the Victorian 'Rogues and Vagabonds' who turned to illicit peddling, begging frauds, and petty crime as their livelihood. The book traces how legislation and institutional systems evolved to address vagrancy and poverty, from the 1824 Vagrancy Act and police improvements through workhouse casual wards and common lodging houses, to the emergence of Social Services in the 1940s and modern local authority housing provision. This scholarly work offers insight into the lives of the marginalised and the government responses that shaped social welfare policy throughout Britain's modern era.

Key Features

Lionel Rose's definitive social history covers the vagrant underworld spanning 1815 to 1985 in Britain.

Originally published in 1988, this Routledge Revivals edition brings a seminal work back into print for contemporary readers.

The study examines the 1824 Vagrancy Act and subsequent legislation designed to manage street poverty and vagrancy.

Rose analyses workhouse casual ward systems and common lodging houses as key institutions for the street poor.
