The Vagabond

Beschreibung

First published in London in 1799, The Vagabond was an immediate popular success. Critizing Jacobinism (or pro-revolutionary political sentiment), this novel's satirical descriptions of many of the historical figures who fought in the forefront of the ""British Revolution"" are full of playful banter and farce.
