Academic - Scholarly - Primary Materials - Nineteenth-Century British History - Penitentiary History - Nineteenth-Century Literature; Newgate prison, the criminals that passed through it and the crimes they committed held a powerful fascination for all levels of Nineteenth-Century British Society. Campaigning authors such as Dickens and Bulwer Lytton used these powerful images in their battles for social and legal reform. Newgate Narratives brings together striking and representative examples of this diverse literature, including popular street literature of broadsides and chapbooks, graphic factual depictions of criminal and prison life, trenchant polemical reform writing, detailed social surveys contained in parliamentary committee reports, and especially classic Newgate novels and melodramas. All texts are reset apart from one volume devoted to criminal street literature. The texts are supplied with introductions and explanatory notes for better understanding of each text's place in the sweep of Newgate literature, both in its time and in relation to controversies over crime, punishment, and wider society today.
