This book discusses the 'marginal' people of late medieval Paris,
the large and shifting group of men and women who existed on the
margins of conventional organized society. Professor Geremek
examines the various groups which made up the marginal world -
beggars, prostitutes, procuresses and pimps, petty criminals,
casual workers and the unemployed - their haunts in and around
Paris, their way of life, and their relation to 'normal' society.
Professor Geremek has made with this book a major contribution to
the study of late medieval society which illuminates the
little-known area of the medieval underworld in a fascinating and
very accessible manner. Translated by Jean Birrell from the French
edition of 1976, this edition includes a new introduction by
Jean-Claude Schmitt, which offers a frank appraisal of the author's
life and career to date.
