Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

The Marshalsea was a prison on the south bank of the River Thames in Southwark. From at least 1329 until it closed in 1842, it housed men under court martial for crimes at sea, political figures and intellectuals accused of sedition or other inappropriate behaviour, and London's debtors, the length of their stay determined largely by the whim of their creditors.
