	The Newgate Calendar - Introduction
		The Newgate Calendar was one of those books, along with a Bible, Foxe's Book of Martyrs and the Pilgrim's Progress, most likely to be found in any English home between 1750 and 1850.
		Children were encouraged to read it because it was believed to inculcate principles of right living -- by fear of punishment if not by the dull and earnest morals appended to the stories of highwaymen and other felons.
		Although editions of the Newgate Calendar are still published from time to time they tend to be very incomplete versions -- less than 10% of the original (see Bibliographic Details) -- so this ex-classics version will, we hope, be useful to students and scholars as well as the general reading public.

	Newgate - Defined
		The Calendar sold ten times more copies than either the Spectator or the Rambler (Radzinowicz 181), just as the Sunday papers far outsold religious journals such as The Methodist Magazine and The Record, which were aimed at directing the lower classes from their assumed preference for immorality and crime (Gray; Roderick).
		The attempts to stigmatize readers of trash journalism such as the Newgate Calendar stories as "low-brow" suggests that the critics might have felt anxiety that their own attraction to the writing exposed an inherent baseness in themselves.
		Some of the genres that are indebted to the works of The Newgate Calendar include the gothic, the sensation novel, stories in the Penny Dreadful magazines, detective fiction, and of course the Newgate novel.

		Tom Sheppard, going to sell some of the goods stolen at Mrs Cook's, was apprehended and committed to Newgate, when, in the hope of being admitted an evidence, he impeached his brother and Edgworth Bess; but they were sought for in vain.

		So-called "Newgate novels," stories with a moralistic turn, which demonstrated the folly of a life of crime, had been popular with the British public since the first true crime report appeared in 1776.
		That work, The Annals of Newgate, or the Malefactors Register, was prepared at the request of His Majesty's government by the Newgate chaplain and was immensely popular with the masses.
		Later came The Newgate Calendar, or the Malefactors Bloody Register, which highlighted the crimes of such notables as "Moll Cutpurse, master thief," "Daniel Davis, dishonest postman," Mary Carlton, a.k.a., "The German Princess, adventuress" and "Charles Fox, an offending dustman." Almost everyone in the Newgate Calendar ended up on the gallows.

		Course Description: Stories concerned with crime have circulated, in oral and then in written form, throughout Western society since its inception, but it was in the nineteenth century that what we recognise as the literary genre of crime fiction came into being.
		Students will gain a critical understanding of the history, range and changing nature of the genre and the questions it both poses and responds to at different moments in the period.
		Our survey of the ‘origins’ of the detective and crime genres will briefly include cultural material on murder and execution broadsides; the Newgate Calendars; the emergence of the detective figure; the penny dreadfuls; and Strand Magazine in the 1890s.
