Literary dreamers, wanderers, bohemians, rebels, and romantics are the subject of this 1906 critical study. Some of their journeys took a physical direction, some an intellectual, and some, both. Studies of those who embody Rickett's definition of "vagabond" include William Hazlitt, Thomas De Quincy, George Borrow, Henry David Thoreau, Robert Louis Stevenson, Richard Jeffries, and Walt Whitman.
