| Summary | "The English Rogue: Continued in the Life of Meriton Latroon, and Other Extravagants" by Richard Head is a fictional novel written in the late 17th century. The story follows the adventures of Meriton Latroon, a rogue and charming swindler who navigates a world filled with cheats and deceivers. Through his escapades, the book delves into themes of morality and cunning, showcasing the various characters that intersect with Latroon's life. At the start of the novel, the narrative introduces the reader to a perilous incident involving the ship's crew, including Latroon, as they leave the island of St. Helena and make their way to Messina. The captain discusses their plans to divvy up profits from a sale, promising to help others along the way. As they arrive in Messina, the crew's excitement leads to drunken revelry, which soon draws the suspicion of locals regarding their character. The opening portion establishes a comedic tone with a whimsical recounting of adventures filled with ghost stories and mischievous characters, hinting at the endless escapades that await in the life of Meriton Latroon.
