Laurence L. Bongie

4.9/5 (31482 ratings)

Description:From Rogue to Everyman is the portrait of Charles de Julie, an archetypal rogue, through street scenes of eighteenth-century Paris. Julie knew the French capital intimately. Working as an informer and police officer exposed him to loan sharks, pickpockets, confidence men, gamblers, and thousands of prostitutes - all closely watched by an invasive network of police and government spies. Julie established close contacts with a number of the capital's leading "maquerelles" as well as their distinguished clients, and his underground news sheets, lifted mainly from secret vice squad reports, provided a restricted circle of wealthy subscribers with racy accounts of the town's sexual dalliances.
