Pirates? the Politics of Plunder 1550-1650


Overview

The essays in this book by noted historians, lawyers and literary scholars provide an illuminating window on the cultural work involved in violence at sea in one of the most stimulating periods of maritime history. This inter-disciplinary study is the first to consider how 'piracy' and representations of 'pirates' both shape and were shaped by political, social and religious debates and issues. Looking at a variety of well-known and neglected 'piratical' figures, and a range of geographical locations, maritime contexts and national literatures, it shows how attitudes to 'piracy' and violence at sea were debated and contested between 1550 and 1650.
