Turley presents a thoroughly-researched literay and cultural history of the transgressive pirate figure in the early eighteenth-century. -Journal of Folklore Research A splendid account of piracy as a historical and cultural production of emerging modern culture. Hans Turley shows the ways in which sodomy and piracy are inextricable from the cultural imagination of the eighteenth century and, in doing so, encourages us to rethink not only pirate history, but the history of sexuality as well. -George E. Haggerty,University of California, Riverside No simplifying on my part will do justice to Turley's exhaustive readings and display of complex ideas. -Left History 8.1
