Prezzo online:

A unique tour through British historyfrom the perspective of the peasants and the poverty-stricken.

The past is traditionally told from the viewpoint of kings and queens, politicians and pioneers. But what about the people struggling to survive at the very lowest levels of society?

A Pauper's History of England covers a thousand years of poverty, from Domesday right up to the twentieth century, via the Black Death and the English Civil War. It paints a portrait of what life was like for the peasants, paupers, beggars, and working poor as England developed from a feudal society into a wealthy superpower.

Experience the past from a different perspective:

  • Tour the England of the Domesday Book
  • Make a solemn Franciscan vow of poverty
  • Join the Peasants' Revolt of 1381
  • Converse with Elizabethan beggars and learn their secret language
  • Meet the inmates of Bedlam Hospital and Bridewell Prison
  • Enjoy a gin-soaked Georgian night of debauchery
  • Spend the night in a workhouse
  • Go slumming in Victorian London, and more!
