 Are the girls truly escaped slaves from Kentucky? Or will the city’s dystopian Mendicity Society catch them in a lie, exposing them as born-and-raised Londoners and endangering their safety?

 With its many stories of people like these who lived and made their living on the streets, Vagabonds forms a moving picture of the real Dickensian London. Piecing together contemporary sources such as newspaper articles, letters, and journal entries, historian Oskar Jensen follows the harrowing, hopeful journeys of the city’s poor: children, immigrants, street performers, thieves, and sex workers, all diverse in gender, ethnicity, ability, and origin. In their own voices, they give us a vibrant new perspective on this moment in history, with its deep inequality that bears an astonishing resemblance to our own era’s divides.
