{"product_id":"the-life-of-mr-jonathan-wild-the-great-9780199549757","title":"The Life of Mr Jonathan Wild the Great","description":"The real-life Jonathan Wild, gangland godfather and self-styled \"Thieftaker General\", controlled much of the London underworld until he was executed for his crimes in 1725. Even during his lifetime his achievements attracted attention; after his death balladeers sang of his exploits, and satirists made connections between his success and the triumph of corruption in high places. Fielding built on these narratives to produce one of the greatest sustained satires in the English language. Published in 1743, at a time when the modern novel had yet to establish itself as a fixed literary form, \u003cem\u003eJonathan Wild\u003c\/em\u003e is at the same time a brilliant black comedy, an incisive political satire, and a profoundly serious exploration of human \"greatness\" and \"goodness\", as relevant today as it ever was. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Series: \u003c\/strong\u003eFor over 100 years\u003cstrong\u003e Oxford World's Classics\u003c\/strong\u003e has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.
