Book Synopsis
Poor migrants made up a growing class of workers in late sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England. This book is an ambitious attempt to reconstruct the everyday lives of these dispossessed people. It offers a portrait of unsettledness in early modern England that includes the homeless and housed alike.
