Excerpt: ... observers a poor, miserable old woman, with one foot in the grave, a standing lie to the advantages, blessings, and beauties of an uncivilized, demoralizing, wandering vagabond's life. A portrait of one of the self-crowned Scottish gipsy queens, Esther Faa Blythe, is here given. The old woman is eighty-five years of age, and has an eye to business. She is sharp, and can adapt herself to all circumstances. With the saints she becomes heavenly, and so on, almost through the whole of the lights, shades, and phases of social life. There are numbers of "gipsy kings" and "queens" in the country--aye, almost in every county; at any rate those who are simple enough to believe in them say so. One gipsy queen not long ago used to dress in dashing, gaudy silks, and sit in "a chair of state" in her van, and the Londoners paid their threepennies to see her from time to time. She now lives a "retired life," upon her gains, at Maidenhead. The best gipsy queen I know of is the good Christian woman, Mrs. Simpson--formerly a Lee--at Notting Hill, who has become a devoted, good Christian woman, and tries to do all the good she can as she passes up and down the world. Her Bible contains her " state records," which are the guide of her life. For twenty years she did a "roaring trade" by telling fortunes to simpletons and big babies out of the Bible--upside-down at times--of which she could not tell a letter. Since she has been a gipsy Christian quetn she has learnt to read some parts of the blessed book. My plan, if followed out thoroughly in all its details, will make all our gipsies " kings" and "queens." It is surprising that there are people in the world silly enough even at this late day to believe in such beings as the "gipsy kings" and " queens" of...

Book excerpt: Gypsies, Egyptians, Romanies, and—more recently—Travellers. Who are these marginal and mysterious people who first arrived in England in early Tudor times? Are claims of their distant origins on the Indian subcontinent true, or just another of the many myths and stories that have accreted around them over time? Can they even be regarded as a single people or ethnicity at all? Gypsies have frequently been vilified, and not much less frequently romanticized, by the settled population over the centuries. Social historian David Cressy now attempts to disentangle the myth from the reality of Gypsy life over more than half a millennium of English history. In this, the first comprehensive historical study of the doings and dealings of Gypsies in England, he draws on original archival research, and a wide range of reading, to trace the many moments when Gypsy lives became entangled with those of villagers and townsfolk, religious and secular authorities, and social and moral reformers. Crucially, it is a story not just of the Gypsy community and its peculiarities, but also of England's treatment of that community, from draconian Elizabethan statutes, through various degrees of toleration and fascination, right up to the tabloid newspaper campaigns against Gypsy and Traveller encampments of more recent years.
