The Tramp in British Literature, 1850—1950

Produktform: E-Buch Text Elektronisches Buch in proprietärem

Shortlisted for the Literary Encyclopedia Book Prize 2022,  offers a unique account of the emergence of a new conception of homelessness in the mid-nineteenth century. After arguing that the emergence of the figure of the tramp reflects the evolution of capitalism and disciplinary society in this period,  uncovers a neglected body of "tramp literature" written by memoir and fiction writers, many of whom were themselves homeless. In analysing these works, it presents select texts as a unique and ignored contribution to a wider radical discourse defined by its opposition to a wider societal preoccupation with the need to be productive. the figure of the tramp reflects the evolution of capitalism and disciplinary society in this period,  uncovers a neglected body of "tramp literature" written by memoir and fiction writers, many of whom were themselves homeless.
