The Mohocks is a novel written by John Gay, a prominent English poet and playwright of the 18th century. The book is set in London during the early 18th century and follows the lives of a group of young men known as the Mohocks. The Mohocks were notorious for their violent and destructive behavior, often attacking and terrorizing innocent people in the streets of London.The novel explores the lives of these young men and their various exploits, including their frequent brawls and encounters with the law. It also delves into the social and political climate of the time, offering a glimpse into the lives of the wealthy and powerful elite who ruled over London society.Through its vivid descriptions and colorful characters, The Mohocks offers a fascinating portrait of life in 18th century London. It is a gripping tale of violence, power, and corruption, and a powerful commentary on the darker aspects of human nature.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.
