Set in the London underworld, this satirical novel explores the life of notorious crime boss Jonathan Wild, blending various narrative styles such as serious history, criminal biography, and political satire. Through its humorous lens, the story critiques the moral ambiguities of society and may also serve as a commentary on the corruption associated with Britain's first Prime Minister, Robert Walpole.
