Criminal biographies enjoyed enormous popularity in the Eighteenth
Century: today they offer us some fascinating perspectives on the
period. Drunks, Whores and Idle Apprentices is the first book to
reproduce a number of these biographies in full.
Not only do these biographies make fascinating reading, they also
raise the problem of how to read them as historical documents. The
author argues that instead of trying to uncover simple themes, the
most revealing thing about them is the tensions around which they
were constructed.
