| Zusammenfassung: | In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, widespread fear of criminal assault motivated the publication of hundreds of pamphlets tracing the lives and misdeeds of London's most notorious rogues. Turned to Account is a study that focuses on the popular genre of criminal biography, examining how it played upon and reflected English society's fears and interest in aberrant behaviour. The author has not produced a criminal history, but an intriguing distillation of some 2,000 separate narratives describing the lives, deeds, and dying words of thieves, murderers, and various scoundrels. Lincoln Faller examines ways in which ordinary Englishmen read, wrote, and presumably thought on the subject of criminal actions and character. He completes his treatment by showing how the pamphlets served to delineate the lines of socially acceptable behaviour. Faller has chosen his examples with skill and economy to produce a comprehensive and interesting work |

Smiles, serious thoughts, and things beyond imagining: a provisional typology of thieves in action ; 7. Barbarous levities: fear, guilt, and the value of confusion ; Everyone left to his own reflections: the oddity of the highwayman as hero and social critic In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, widespread fear of criminal assault motivated the publication of hundreds of pamphlets tracing the lives and misdeeds of London's most notorious rogues. Turned to Account is a study that focuses on the popular genre of criminal biography, examining how it played upon and reflected English society's fears and interest in aberrant behaviour. The author has not produced a criminal history, but an intriguing distillation of some 2,000 separate narratives describing the lives, deeds, and dying words of thieves, murderers, and various scoundrels. Lincoln Faller examines ways in which ordinary Englishmen read, wrote, and presumably thought on the subject of criminal actions and character. He completes his treatment by showing how the pamphlets served to delineate the lines of socially acceptable behaviour. Faller has chosen his examples with skill and economy to produce a comprehensive and interesting work Geschichte 1700-1800 Geschichte 1600-1700 Geschichte 1650-1750 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1600-1730 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte Criminals / England / Biography / History and criticism English prose literature / Early modern, 1500-1700 / History and criticism English prose literature / 18th century / History and criticism Criminals / England / History / 17th century Criminals / England / History / 18th century Kriminalsoziologie (DE-588)4128665-0 gnd rswk-swf Kriminalität (DE-588)4033178-7 gnd rswk-swf Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 gnd rswk-swf England (DE-588)4014770-8 gnd rswk-swf (DE-588)4006804-3 Biografie gnd-content England (DE-588)4014770-8 g Kriminalität (DE-588)4033178-7 s Geschichte 1600-1730 z 1\p DE-604 Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 g Kriminalsoziologie (DE-588)4128665-0 s Geschichte 1650-1750 z 2\p DE-604 3\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-06562-7 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-32672-8 https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511983733 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
