Bag om The Mohocks

""The Mohocks"" is a novel by John Gay that was first published in 1712. The book is set in early 18th century London and follows the exploits of a group of young men known as the Mohocks, who engage in various forms of debauchery and violence throughout the city. The Mohocks are depicted as a dangerous and disruptive force, terrorizing the streets and causing chaos wherever they go. The novel is a satirical commentary on the excesses and moral decay of the time, and is often cited as an important work in the development of the English novel. The book is written in a lively and humorous style, with vivid descriptions of the Mohocks' antics and the colorful characters they encounter. Despite its age, ""The Mohocks"" remains a fascinating and entertaining read, offering a unique glimpse into the social and cultural landscape of early 18th century London.Thus far our Riots with Success are crown'd, Have found no stop, or what they found o'ercame; In vain th' embattell'd Watch in deep array, Against our Rage oppose their lifted Poles; Through Poles we rush triumphant, Watchman rolls On Watchman; while their Lanthorns kick'd aloft.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
