The life of Mr. Jonathan Wild the great

The real-life Jonathan Wild, gangland godfather and self-styled 'Thieftaker General', controlled much of the London underworld until he was executed for his crimes in 1725. Fielding produced one of the greatest sustained satires in the English language based on his life.
