In a society of strangers, there develops what can be called crimes
of mobility -- forms of criminality rare in traditional societies:
bigamy, the confidence game, and blackmail, for example. What they
have in common is a kind of fraudulent role-playing, which the new
society makes possible. This book explores the social and legal
consequences of social and geographical mobility in the United
States and Great Britain from the beginning of the 19th century on.
Personal identity became more fluid. Lines between classes blurred.
Impostors abound.
