The biography delves into the life of Jonathan Wild, a notorious figure in early 18th-century London's criminal underworld, who navigated the law as both a criminal and a supposed law enforcer. Written by Henry Fielding, known for his humor and satire, this work offers an insightful exploration of Wild's duality and the societal context of the time. The modern edition includes a newly commissioned biography of Fielding, making it a valuable addition for those interested in literary history and the complexities of morality in the era.
