AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This rogue's comedy with ballads tells the saga of James Hardy Vaux, an English petty thief who was three times transported to New South Wales. Highly successful in Australia, this play gives a vivid picture of the early history of a continent settled by the inmates of the prisons of Hogarth's London.'
