The Literature Of Roguery." by Prof
F. ". Chandler. is a contribution to lit
eraTy history OF uncommon novelty and
interest No attempt has hitherto been
made TO take account Of the whole mass
Of literature dealing with the rogue and
his friends, the beGgar and the criminal.
The present work. the second in Prof.
Nelson's Types Of English Literature
series, begins by describing conciseIy the
earlier appearances Of the rascal as a
typical figure in the literatures OF. Spain.
France, Germany. and Holland. Next.
after some account Of medieval roguery
as recorded in drama, legend, and lest
book, the author traces its history
through the beggar books and COMFY
catching pamphlets Of the EIizabethan
age, the lives of the great highwaymen
OF the seventeenth and eighteenth CEN
turies, down TO the tramps and gentle
men burglars Of our own day The most
important literary form discussed is. Of
course, that of the sO-called picturesque
novel; and the origin and developments
Of this type of romance as it fi0urished
in England are here for the first time
authoritatiyeiy cleared up. But TOguery
is found entering literature by other gates
than that Of the novel. Criminal biOg-
raphies, prison chronicles, drama, opera.
sociological studies. and lyric verse are ali
shown 10 share the field here surveyed.
and a vast amount of material hitherto
ignored both by the literary historian
and the general reader is brought 10 light
The greater writer's who are shown 10
have contributed materially TO the litera-
tuTe Of raScality include Shakespeare and
several of hts contemporary dramatists.
Defoe, Fielding, SmoIlett, Scott. Aims
worth, Bulwer, Lever, Marryat. Dickens.
Reade, Thackeray, and George Borrow.
The Indebtedness of many of these
authors to the picturesque tradition has
not before been pointed out. One Of the
most interesting contributions in the more
modern part Of the field is the placing
OF the detective story In fits historic rela-
ton 10 previous chronicles Of villainy, by
showing that it enables the reader to get
all the excitement. of the older criminal
narratives with the additional advantage
Of sympathy with the leading figure, who
Is now the representative Of justice in
stead Of crime. Few. if any. recent works
contain at once so much that is fresh and
suggestive TO the student OF books and
so much that is entertaining to the stu
dent of human nature. II is Of impor-
tance at once to the historian, the soci-
ologtst, and the general reader.
