Their visions were dazzling in their way, censorious, often theatrical. Now, for the first time, this innovative social history brilliantly – and radically – shows us the city’s most compelling period (1780–1870) at street level.   From beggars and thieves to musicians and missionaries, porters and hawkers to sex workers and street criers, Jensen unites a breadth of original research and first-hand accounts and testimonies to tell their stories in their own words. What emerges is a buzzing, cosmopolitan world of the working classes, diverse in gender, ethnicity, origin, ability and occupation – a world that challenges and fascinates us still.","brand":"Duckworth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50314839785760,"sku":"9780715654958","price":9.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9780715654958.jpg?v=1781130045","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/vagabonds-oskar-jensen-9780715654958","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
