Reviews

Reviews of the first publication: ‘…this collection of essays is superb both in conception and in execution.’ — G. R. Rubin, British Journal of Law and Society, Vol. 8, No. 1 ‘…An Ungovernable People is an important and exceptionally coherent collection of essays that should attract not only the increasing number of students of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century crime, but also anyone interested in the social or political history of the period.’ — Susan Staves, Eighteenth-Century Studies, Vol. 17, No. 1
