Pirates And Mutineers Of The Nineteenth Century: Swashbucklers And Swindlers

This collection examines changes in the representation of the pirate from the beginning of the nineteenth century through the late Victorian period. The contributors engage with acts of piracy by men and women in the literary marketplace as well as on the high seas. Linking the pirate's development as a literary figure with the history of piracy and the making of the modern state reveals much about race, class, and evolving gender relationships.
