The Beggars of England in Prose and Poetry, Part 1: From the Earliest Times to the End of the Seventeenth Century is a book written by Albert Tschopp and published in 1903. The book is a comprehensive study of beggars in England, tracing their history from ancient times to the end of the seventeenth century. Tschopp examines the social, economic, and political factors that contributed to the growth of begging in England, and provides an in-depth analysis of the various types of beggars that existed during this period.The book is divided into two parts, with the first part covering the period from ancient times to the end of the seventeenth century. Tschopp begins by examining the origins of begging in England, and goes on to explore the various forms of begging that existed during the medieval period, including the practice of giving alms to the poor, the rise of professional beggars, and the emergence of organized begging rings.Tschopp also examines the impact of the Reformation on begging in England, and the ways in which the Protestant church sought to address the problem of poverty. He then goes on to explore the rise of the workhouse system, and the ways in which this institution was used to control and regulate the poor.Throughout the book, Tschopp draws on a wide range of sources, including historical records, literature, and popular culture, to provide a vivid and detailed picture of the lives of beggars in England. The book is an important contribution to the study of poverty and social inequality in England, and remains a valuable resource for scholars and students of history, sociology, and literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
