Nighttime was dark and dangerous in the 18th century. Before modern lighting and police, criminals and other dark forces used the cover of night to strike terror into the lives of everyday people. Yet it was also more lively than we might imagine today. In this lecture, public historian James Finelli explores the culture of nighttime in the 18th century.
