This accessible edition brings to life for modern readers the novel's turbulent political and philosophical contexts through its wide-ranging introduction and well-researched set of contemporary materials. Expertly edited and vividly presented through these contemporary contexts, The Vagabond is a must-read for those interested in the popular phenomenon of the conservative Romantic-period novel. -- Adriana Craciun, Birkbeck College, University of London W.M. Verhoeven's edition of George Walker's The Vagabond is an essential text for scholars and readers of eighteenth-century and Romantic literature. Verhoeven's erudite introduction and notes contextualize the anti-Jacobin novel, covering British history and culture from the Glorious Revolution through the Gordon Riots into the revolutionary and post-revolutionary nineties, and his appendices provide valuable material for an understanding of just what was at stake in the period. -- Carol Houlihan Flynn, Tufts University W.M.
