Rogue literature is a literary genre that tells stories from the world of thieves and other criminals that was popular in England in the 16th and 17th centuries. The stories were mostly in a
confessional form and full of vivid descriptions. Rogue literature is an important source in understanding the everyday life of the ordinary people and their language, and the
language of thieves and beggars. This genre can be related to the stories of
Robin Hood and
jest book literature, as well as early examples of the
first voice in fiction and autobiography.[1]
