Sinopsis

In "Rogues and Vagabonds," Compton MacKenzie presents a captivating exploration of the underbelly of society, infusing his narrative with rich characterizations and a distinctively humorous prose style. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Britain, the novel intricately weaves together tales of the marginalized and the misfits, revealing their struggles and triumphs. The literary context of this work is marked by the burgeoning interest in social realism and a critical examination of class disparities, making it a significant contribution to the literature of its time. Compton MacKenzie, a Scottish author and playwright, was deeply influenced by his own experiences and the cultural shifts of his era. His background in the privileged upper class, contrasted with an acute awareness of the downtrodden, provided him the perspective needed to illuminate the pathos of his characters. His earlier works often grappled with themes of identity and societal norms, and "Rogues and Vagabonds" serves as a culmination of these interests, underscoring the complexities of human experience. I highly recommend "Rogues and Vagabonds" to readers interested in rich, character-driven tales that dissect social hierarchies with sharp wit and empathy. It is a remarkable study of human resilience and eccentricity, inviting readers to engage with the overlooked narratives that shape our world.

The story revolves around Claire Boltwood, a rich young woman from Brooklyn, and her father who drive across the country to help him regain his health. Travel by automobile in the first part of the twentieth century was difficult as many roads were not paved and many small towns had few hotels.
