This Book explores early modern England's criminal culture, arguing that it formed a distinct sub-nation with its own aesthetic, ideology, and language. The author examines the relationship between this criminal culture's representation in various media and the formation of social identities, focusing on the concept of "transversal power," which describes the ways in which this subculture challenged and influenced the dominant culture. The study utilizes an investigative-expansive methodology, acknowledging the impact of popular beliefs even if not fully historically verifiable. Significant attention is paid to the role of "cant" (the criminal argot), the public theater, and the figure of the "gypsy" as significant cultural and social elements. The book also analyzes the antitheatrical discourse of the time and its connection to transversal thought.
