The English Rogue: Continued In The Life Of Meriton Latroon, And Other Extravagants, Comprehending The Most Eminent Cheats Of Both Sexes: The Third Pa

By Richard Head

A picaresque this lively and biting-yet sharp with humanity-The English Rogue continues the misadventures of Meriton Latroon and his colourful peers in a spellbinding snapshot of Restoration London. This edition distills Head's notorious satire into a contemporary, accessible voice: a witty descent into vice and deception, framed by rogue literature and gender satire. The text offers a compact tour of early modern england: lively scenes, sharp social observations, and a satire that blends entertainment with critique. It is not merely a novel of escapades but a work of cultural cartography, inviting both casual readers and scholars of historical fiction to glimpse a society through its comic mirrors. The book bears clear literary and historical significance as a cornerstone of jacobean satire reimagined for modern readers. It reveals how early modern writers used roguish exploits to probe morality, gender norms, and class dynamics, making it a touchstone for anyone exploring the era's prose and social imagination. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this volume is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - it is a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Perfect for antiquarian book collectors, academic study guides, and ereaders of classic literature alike, it will enrich both the bookshelf and the conversation about restoration-era satire and its enduring resonance.
