About the Book

El Alcance Literario y Musical de la Historia de la vida de Jonathan Wild La ejecución de Wild fue un acto público notable, y se vendieron entradas con anticipación para los mejores puntos de observación. Incluso en un año con un gran número de acontecimientos macabros, el público reunido en aquella ocasión era una multitud particularmente numerosa e histérica. El joven de 18 años Henry Fielding estaba presente. Wild iba acompañado de William Sperry, Robert Sandford y Robert Harpham, tres de los cuatro prisioneros que habían sido condenados a morir con Wild unos días antes. Debido a que estaba fuertemente drogado, fue el último en morir después de los demás. A diferencia de la ejecución de Sheppard, no hubo ningún incidente entre la multitud. A mitad de la noche, el cuerpo de Wild fue enterrado en secreto en el patio de la iglesia St. Pancras Old, al lado de Elizabeth Mann, su tercera mujer y una de sus muchas amantes. Ella había muerto en 1718, y él había expresado su deseo de ser enterrado allí. Su enterramiento fue sólo temporal. Durante el s. XIX la investigación sobre cadáveres estaba en pleno florecimiento, y las disecciones y autopsias de criminales célebres revestían un valor científico especial. El cuerpo de Wild fue exhumado y vendido al Real Colegio de Cirugía, y su esqueleto aún se exhibe en el Museo Hunterian de Lincoln's Inn Fields. Jonathan Wild es famoso hoy en día no tanto por ser el ejemplo de crimen organizado como por el tratamiento que los escritores satíricos hicieron de su historia. Se convirtió en un símbolo de corrupción e hipocresía. Cuando Wild fue colgado, los periódicos se llenaron de relatos de su vida, recopilación de sus dichos y discursos de despedida. Daniel Defoe escribió un relato para el "Applebee's Journal" en Mayo y luego publicó "True and Genuine Account of the Life and Actions of the Late Jonathan Wild" en Junio de 1725. Su trabajo compitió con otro que alegaba ofrecer extractos de los diarios de J.Wild. La biografía de un criminal era un género que ya existía por entonces. Estas obras eran populares entonces, como lo son ahora, porque ofrecían un relato de necesidad, pérdida de la inocencia, sexo, violencia y luego arrepentimiento o un lacrimoso final. La fascinación pública con el lado oscuro de la naturaleza humana, y con las causas del mal, nunca se ha desvanecido. En 1743 La Historia de la Vida del difunto señor Jonathan Wild el Grande (The History of The Life of The Late Mr. Jonathan Wild The Great) apareció en el tercer volumen de "Miscellanies" de Henry Fielding. Fielding fue despiadado en su ataque contra Walpole. En su trabajo, Wild sustituye directamente a Walpole, y, en particular, invoca el lenguaje de Walpole del "Gran Hombre". Así se referían a Walpole los escritores whig y, satíricamente, los escritores tory, y Fielding tiene a su Wild constantemente esforzándose, con estúpida violencia, por ser "Grande". "La grandeza", según Fielding, "sólo se logra alcanzando lo alto de una escalera" (la de la horca). La sátira de Fielding también consistentemente ataca al partido whig haciendo que Wild escoja, entre todos los términos propios de ladrones (léxicos de este tipo aparecieron con las "Lives of Wild" en 1725), "prig" (mojigato) para referirse a la profesión de los que se dedican a robar en las casas. Fielding sugiere que para Wild, convertirse en un "Gran Prig" es lo mismo que para Walpole convertirse en un "Gran Whig" el robo y el partido whig nunca fueron relacionados tan directamente. Más recientemente, Jonathan Wild aparece como personaje en la novela de David Liss titulada "Una Conspiración de Papel" (Suma De Letras, S.L., 2002; Alfaguara, S.A., 2001).
