Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an invaluable resource for understanding the Robber tradition in 18th and 19th Century Scotland. In a period when highwaymen and organised crime gangs were a threat to law and order, the concept of the ânoble robberâ emerged â" romanticised outlaws who defended the poor against the tyrannical landed gentry. The author places this tradition within its broader social, economic and political context, revealing how it reflected genuine social grievances and aspirations at the time. The thematic depth of the book explores the complex moral ambiguities inherent to this tradition, questioning whether these outlaws were truly heroes or simply self-serving criminals. This book will be of interest to anyone fascinated by the history of crime, the evolution of social banditry, and the interplay between myth and reality in cultural history.
