Exhibit explores rise of pop culture in 18th-Century London libraries
A new exhibit of rare books at the Boston Public Library (BPL) highlights one of the earliest rises in pop culture in London with pamphlets, broadsides, and rare books telling stories of criminals, ghost, shipwrecks, and pirates.
University of Massachusetts Boston faculty and graduate students worked with BPL rare book curators to organize a first of its kind exhibit, Crooks, Rogues, and Maids Less Than Virtuous, which will open on December 12 and show through May 1.
The exhibit is the first collaboration for UMass Boston and the Boston Public Library.
