Abstract

The structure of the essay is as follows. The first section provides a brief résumé of the institutional history of the travelling system. A short account is then given of an extensive analysis of the records of one travelling society, documenting the movements of a large number of individual artisans. In an attempt to place this in some broader context, an analysis of the mobility of different occupational groups, based on a very large national sample from the 1851 census, is presented. The following two sections seek to provide a more rounded account of individual experience from an extensive survey of autobiographies, and also begin to add an explicitly political dimension. A concluding discussion further develops this theme, and tries to suggest an agenda for future research.
