About the book

The Newgate Calendars collect accounts of notorious criminals associated with London's Newgate Prison and the British criminal justice system. The stories describe murders, robberies, frauds and other crimes, usually following each offender from wrongdoing through trial and punishment. Sensational yet historically fascinating, the Calendars offer insight into crime, morality and popular attitudes toward punishment in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Britain.
