The English Rogue V1 is a novel written by Richard Head. It was first published in 1665 and is considered to be one of the earliest examples of the picaresque novel genre. The novel follows the adventures of a young man named Meriton Latroon, who is a roguish and cunning character. He travels around England and gets involved in various criminal activities, such as theft and fraud, in order to make a living. Along the way, he meets a variety of colorful characters, including other rogues, prostitutes, and wealthy aristocrats. The novel is known for its vivid descriptions of 17th-century England and its use of colloquial language. It is also notable for its moral ambiguity, as Meriton is both a sympathetic character and a criminal. The English Rogue V1 is a fascinating and entertaining read for anyone interested in the history and literature of the 17th century.Full title: THE English Rogue, In the LIFE OF Meriton Latroon, And other Extravagants.
