"The London-Bawd: With Her Character and Life" by Anonymous is a satirical work likely written in the early 18th century. This text delves into the life and character of a bawd, a woman who manages a house of ill repute, exploring the darker and often humorous aspects of vice and corruption that can be found within society. It vividly portrays the manipulative nature of the protagonist, along with the various schemes and intrigues associated with the trade of prostitution. The opening of the book introduces the character of the bawd in a colorful and exaggerated manner, presenting her as a cunning and morally corrupt figure who preys on the vulnerabilities of others. It outlines her role as a facilitator of vice, detailing her interactions and her management of other characters such as pimps and whores. The bawd's sharp wit and resourcefulness are revealed as she navigates through various dealings, while a mixture of dark humor and moral commentary highlights the consequences of indulgence and the folly of those who fall prey to her machinations. The narrative sets the stage for further exploration of the depraved transactions and social dynamics within her world.
