I have moved the Word DOC file of the Annotated "Jonathan Wild" to our new location of multi-fomat books for Augustan Lit. [url=http://students.otoiu.com/courses/1_2_Augustan/Augustan_literature.html]HERE[/url]

I have also added an EPUB file of the same book at the same location. This file doesn't have annotations, but it's easier on the eyes on a screen, and you can always consult the online dictionary (in Calibre).

Those o you who want to take advantage of this vacation and read ahead, the other books are still on the "Annotated Books" web page. That includes Laurence Sterne's fragments of "Tristram Shandy" and the 2 Jane Austyen books. You can find them [url=http://students.otoiu.com/biblio/annotated_ebooks.html]HERE.[/url]

I believe that Jonathan Wilde born in a wrong class and this thing change his personality and behaviour. He wants fame and a bright future and that thing made him to become a thief. I observe that in this book the author speaks about two worlds: politicians and thieves. In the end of the book, I observe that although Jonathan Wilde became a great man, he didn�t have a good destiny.
