Yesterday I had another look at Down and out in eighteenth-century London by Tim Hitchcock. It's a fascinating read, and very well researched. I overlook the one paragraph where the word beggar is repeatedly spelled begger.
Going back in time, my own ancestors come from this sort of background. I wonder if they were already cunts back then. By extension I wonder if the poor people in Hitchcock's book were cunts too.
