The History of Jonathan Wild the Great is a fictionalised biography of the historical thief and thief-taker of the title, a masterful ironic satire pretending to conflate greatness with goodness. Also presented here are Fielding's pseudonymous articles in the comic-political journal The Champion, which he edited.
