The Roaring Girle Or Moll Cut-Purse As it hath lately beene acted on the Fortune-stage by the Prince his Players [In prose and verse] Written by T Middleton and T Dekkar Author: Middleton, Thomas / London: Thomas Archer, 1611 Source/Shelfmark: 162.d.35, t.p. Mary Frith or Moll Cutpurse (c. 1584 - July 26, 1659) was a notorious pickpocket and fence of the English underworld. The name Moll Cutpurse was a pun: Moll, apart from being a nickname for Mary, was a common name for a young woman "” usually of disreputable character. Cutpurse denoted her reputation as a thief who would cut purses to steal the contents. The other name by which she was known, "The Roaring Girl" is taken from roaring boys. The roaring boys were young gentlemen who caroused in taverns, and then picked brawls on the street for entertainment.
