Preface

List of abbreviations

1 Romancing the real: the "field" of criminal biography

2 Defoe's realism: rough frames, strange voices, surprisingly various subjects and readers made more present to themselves

3 The copious text: opening the door to inference, or, room for those who know how to read it

4 Intimations of an invisible hand: the mind exercised, enlarged, and kept in play by strange concurrences

5 The general scandal upon business: unanswerable doubts, and the text as a field supporting very nice distinctions

6 The frontiers of dishonesty, the addition and concurrence of circumstances: more on the strategic situating of names

7 Notions different from all the world: criminal stupidity, the self, and the symbolic order

Closing comments: truth, complexity, common sense, and empty spaces
