In this work, a greater part of the canvas has been devoted to the completion of a simple family picture.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Cult Criminals : The Newgate Novels, 1830-1847'
Cult Criminals is a set of early Victorian novels 'sensationally' popular with readers and of immense influence in the development of the novel form. All six novels, commonly labelled 'Newgate' novels, scandalized the Victorians by glamorizing criminals and led to a bitter literary controversy between Dickens and Thackeray, who damned the former's Oliver Twist as a 'Newgate' novel.
At the heart of the 'Newgate' debate lay questions concerning the moral and social function of the novel, the relationship between romance and realism in fiction, and whether crime should be portrayed in fiction at all. The Newgate novels function as a bridge between the eighteenth- century tradition of crime fiction and the detective and crime novels of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, as well as encapsulating many of the social and cultural shifts that took place in the early Victorian period.

Not illustrated. 1833 edition. Excerpt: ... document on the Poorlaws generally bears out the evidence adduced above. Idleness and vice, then, are the chief parents of crime and distress; viz. indisposition to work, not the want of work. This is a great truth never to be lost sight of; for, upon a deduction to be drawn from it depends the only safe principle of Parochial Reform. But how, in so industrious a country, arises the indifference to toil? The answer is obvious--wherever idleness is better remunerated than labour, idleness becomes contagious, and labour hateful. Is this the fact with us 1 Let us see; the following fable shall instruct us:--The most benevolent of the angels was Eriel. Accustomed to regard with a pitying eye the condition of Mankind, and knowing (in the generous spirit of angelic philosophy) how much circumstance is connected with crime, he had ever wept over even the sufferings of the felon, and attempted to interfere with the Arch Disposer of events for their mitigation. One day, in walking over the earth, as was his frequent wont, he perceived a poor woman with a child in her arms, making her way through a tattered and squalid crowd that thronged around the threshold of a certain house in the centre of a large town. Something in the aspect of the woman interested the benevolent angel. He entered the house with her, and heard her apply to the overseers of the parish for relief; she stated her case as one of great hardship; to add to her distress, the infant in her arms was suffering under the fearful visitation of the small-pox. The overseers seemed ready enough to relieve her--all the overseers, save one; he sturdily stood out, and declared the woman an impostor. "This is the fourth child," quoth he," that has been brought to us this day as... [via]
