Sinopsis

George Walker, W. M. Verhoeven,

First published in London in 1799, The Vagabond was an immediate popular success. Criticizing 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. The novel's main targets are Hume, Rousseau, Godwin, Wollstonecraft, and Paine; the French Revolution; and the ideas of the noble savage, natural virtue, liberty, equality and romantic primitivism. As such, The Vagabond offers a unique cross-section of 1790s radicalism. This Broadview edition includes a critical introduction and a rich selection of primary source material, including contemporary reviews and extracts from various authors and texts engaged in the Jacobin/Anti-Jacobin revolutionary debate (Hume, Rousseau, Paine, Wollstonecraft, Godwin, Burke, and Malthus, among many others).
