These crimes include bigamy, the confidence game, and blackmail, among others. What unites them is a deceptive form of role-playing facilitated by the new social dynamics. This book delves into the profound social and legal ramifications of social and geographical mobility in the United States and Great Britain from the early 19th century onwards. Personal identity undergoes a fluid transformation, blurring the lines between classes and creating an environment teeming with impostors. The impact of this mobility on society is far-reaching, shaping the very fabric of both countries and leaving a lasting legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 476g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 227 x 162 x 21 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781538166840\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lawrence M.
