The Vagabond in Literature is a book written by Arthur Rickett and published in 1906. The book explores the theme of vagabondage in literature, tracing the history of the literary figure of the vagabond from medieval times to the present day. Rickett examines the various literary representations of the vagabond, from the romanticized wanderer of the 19th century to the more complex and nuanced portrayals of the 20th century. He also discusses the social, political, and cultural contexts in which these literary representations of the vagabond emerged, and analyzes the ways in which they reflect and comment on these contexts. The book is a valuable resource for scholars and students of literature, as well as anyone interested in the history of the vagabond in literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
