This work explores the intriguing world of vagabonds and rogues in Elizabethan England, presenting two significant tracts: Awdeley's "Fraternitye of Vacabondes" and Harman's "Caveat." The texts detail the types of vagabonds, their behaviors, and social perceptions in a time when such figures were often viewed with suspicion and contempt. The opening of this compilation sets the stage for understanding the connection between societal norms and the underclasses of the time, introducing the reader to various types of vagabonds, including rufflers, palliards, and the cunning con artists known as "curtesy men." Both authors emphasize the characteristics and trades of these individuals, depicting a vivid snapshot of a world filled with colorful yet morally ambiguous characters. The initial portion also tackles the origins and misconceptions surrounding these works, hinting at a larger commentary on social issues and attitudes towards poverty and crime during the era of Shakespeare.
