Mayhem: Post-War Crime and Violence in Britain, 1748-53 - The Lewis Walpole Series in Eighteenth-Century Culture and History
Nicholas Rogers
After the end of the War of Austrian Succession in 1748, thousands of unemployed and sometimes unemployable soldiers and seamen found themselves on the streets of London ready to roister the town and steal when necessary. In this book, the author explores the moral panic associated with this rapid demobilization.
