Description: The first comprehensive analysis of an extensive body of rogue pamphlets published in early modern London.
Review Quotes: Liapi makes a compelling argument that rogue pamphlets can be read as a festive and merry genre, one that both celebrated and satirized the pleasures and dangers of urban life, probably attracting ordinary readers who were happy to laugh at others' mishaps.--Eleanor Hubbard "JOURNAL OF BRITISH STUDIES"
