Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an examination of the 18th-century reception of the popular literature of the previous century. The author explores how readers and writers engaged with rogue literature, criminal biographies, histories of highwaymen, and other forms of crime fiction in the decades after their initial publication. The book argues that these texts continued to enjoy a vibrant afterlife long after literary taste had deemed them unworthy of attention. The author uncovers a lively print culture in which rogue literature both fascinated and repelled readers and writers alike, and reflects on the enduring power of crime fiction to capture the popular imagination.
