A Supplicacyon for the Beggers

by Joseph Meadows Cowper Simon Fish

Book Overview

This is a fascinating work of 16th-century English literature, and one of the earliest examples of a proto-socialist text. The author argues that the poor and the marginalised should be given greater support by the state, and that begging should be seen as a legitimate response to poverty. This book is a valuable insight into the social and economic conditions of the time, and is an important work in the history of political thought.
