About this book
The foreword defines the term Vagabond as a wanderer and expressly says that the word carries no derogatory meaning in the discussion. The foreword describes the writers under discussion as differing frequently in character and intellectual power while sharing a basic similarity of temperament and a strong wandering instinct. The wandering instinct may take a physical expression, an intellectual expression, or both, according to the foreword's account.
The introduction describes some men as possessing an insatiable curiosity about the world beyond their doors and an ingrained distaste for ordinary routine and civilization's conventions. A quoted statement on literary expression values simplicity and insists that nothing can make up for excess or a lack of definiteness.
