Omschrijving

""The Surprising Adventures of Bampfylde Moore Carew, King of the Beggars"" is a historical novel written by Robert Goadby and first published in 1812. The book is a fictionalized account of the life of Bampfylde Moore Carew, an infamous English rogue and vagabond who lived during the 18th century. The novel follows Carew's life from his early days as a privileged youth to his eventual fall from grace and subsequent life on the streets as a beggar. Along the way, Carew encounters a variety of colorful characters, including other beggars, thieves, and even royalty. Despite his lowly status as a beggar, Carew manages to maintain a certain level of dignity and even becomes something of a folk hero among his fellow beggars. However, his luck eventually runs out and he is forced to flee England for fear of arrest. The novel is notable for its vivid descriptions of 18th-century England and its portrayal of the life of a beggar during this time period. It also offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of the English rogue, a figure that was both feared and admired in the popular imagination of the time. Overall, ""The Surprising Adventures of Bampfylde Moore Carew, King of the Beggars"" is a thrilling and entertaining read that will appeal to fans of historical fiction and adventure stories.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
