Description

In all countries at all times the beggar has been a familiar figure--sometimes reverenced, sometimes despised, protected yet outlawed--but usually managing somehow to keep body and soul together.

Gilmore begins his study of the beggar of modern times by outlining concisely the beggar's family tree.

His discussion encompasses the whole life history of the various sorts of beggars--from what propels men toward beggardom through the many aspects of the beggar life. Originally published in 1940. A UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print.

These editions are published unaltered from the original, and are presented in affordable paperback formats, bringing readers both historical and cultural value.
