Con Men and Cutpurses [EPUB ebook] 
Scenes from the Hogarthian Underworld

Ajutor

An enthralling anthology of 18th-century writings that gives a fascinating insight into the dreadful misdeeds of – and the horrible punishments meeted out to – an array of rogues and criminals, from murderers and swindlers to prostitutes and pirates. Captured in memoirs, letters, ballads and court transcripts are some of the most colourful villains ever to take their last gasp at the hangman’s noose, including daring thief Jack Sheppherd, highwayman Dick Turpin and ingenious pickpocket Jenny Diver. Taking us from the backstreets and brothels to Newgate prison and the gallows at Tyburn, this anthology reveals London’s murky underworld in all its squalor and exuberance.
