| 520 | |a Shining new light on early American prison literature-from its origins in last words, dying warnings, and gallows literature to its later works of autobiography, expose, and imaginative literature-Reading Prisoners weaves together insights about the rise of the early American penitentiary, the history of early American literacy instruction, and the transformation of crime writing in the "long" eighteenth century.
