Description

That is the primary major study of the convict within the Atlantic world of the eighteenth century. It concentrates on the diverse characters of the transported men, women and children, and their fate within the colonies, exploring on the local level the contrasts in sentencing, shipping and settlement of convicts in The usa. The central myths about transportation prevalent within the eighteenth century, particularly that almost all felons returned, are examined within the context of the burgeoning print culture of criminal biographies and newspaper stories. As well as, the exchange of representations between the 2 sides of the Atlantic, and the changing American reaction to convicts, are placed inside the growing transatlantic debate on transportation before the American Revolution. Above all, the realities of escape, of convicts running away and returning to England, are subject to systematic investigation for the primary time.
