Product Information
Shrouded by myth and hidden by Hollywood, the real pirates of the Caribbean come to life in this collection of essays edited by David Head. Twelve scholars of piracy show why pirates thrived in the New World seas of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century empires, how pirates operated their plundering ventures, how governments battled piracy, and when and why piracy declined. The essays presented take the study of piracy, which can easily lapse into rousing, romanticized stories, to new heights of rigor and insight. The Golden Age of Piracy also delves into the enduring status of pirates as pop culture icons. Audiences have devoured stories about cutthroats such as Blackbeard and Henry Morgan from the time that pirates sailed the sea. By looking at the ideas of gender and sexuality surrounding pirate stories, the fad for hunting pirate treasure, and the construction of pirate myths, the book's contributors tell a new story about the dangerous men, and a few dangerous women, who terrorized the high seas. Contributors: Douglas R. Burgess, Guy Chet, John A. Coakley, Carolyn Eastman, Adam Jortner, Peter T. Leeson, Margarette Lincoln, Virginia W. Lunsford, Kevin P. McDonald, Carla Gardina Pestana, Matthew Taylor Raffety, and David Wilson.

Reviews
Given this book's title, readers may automatically suspect that it is just another volume regurgitating the familiar stories related to Caribbean buccaneering in the seventeenth century. That would be a mistake; buccaneers are in this book, but it is a series of articles touching on many aspects of early modern piracy., Just when you thought the Age of Depp was waning, along comes The Golden Age of Piracy . This superb collection harnesses the best and most innovative scholarship on Atlantic piracy, ranging from the real and material to the pirate's troubled public image. Historians, literary scholars, and economists all weigh in on why piracy took off in American waters after the English seizure of Jamaica and why it was largely suppressed within a few generations. . . . There is something here for everyone, more than enough to inspire a new cinematic franchise., Just when you thought the Age of Depp was waning, along comes The Golden Age of Piracy . This superb collection harnesses the best and most innovative scholarship on Atlantic piracy, ranging from the real and material to the pirate's troubled public image. Historians, literary scholars, and economists all weigh in on why piracy took off in American waters after the English seizure of Jamaica and why it was largely suppressed within a few generations. Carla Gardina Pestana deftly establishes the context; this was an age of global warfare, with pirates spinning off in the eddies between conflicts. John A. Coakley finds that Jamaica's early raiders were not just rum-soaked bums, they were productive privateers. Kevin P. McDonald takes us to the logwood forests of Belize, where Anglophone pirates also worked for a living. Douglas R. Burgess revisits the trial literature of the pirates' last gasp, mincing the words of seaborne sinners in the hands of an angry God. David Wilson examines the odd confluence of forces that brought pirate suppression after Spanish Succession. Guy Chet challenges the notion that piracy really was suppressed in the 1720s, showing the way to new sources. Virginia W. Lunsford decodes buccaneer behavior, finding six ingredients in their recipe for success against the Spanish. Peter T. Leeson applies the dismal science to the Golden Age pirate's world. Hostis humani generis or homo economicus ? Margarette Lincoln revives the legend of Henry Every, from his own sea shanties to tall tales of Madagascar. Carolyn Eastman shows that "pirate pinups" were half the story of Alexander Exquemelin's and Capt. Johnson's wild literary success. Matthew Taylor Raffety leads us into the 1830s, when pirates confessed in pamphlets that their girlfriends made them do it. Finally, Adam Jortner takes us on a search for Kidd's treasure and other adventures of the early republic. Behold, the Gold Bug! There is something here for everyone, more than enough to inspire a new cinematic franchise., From historical accounts to today's pop culture, this volume paints a broad picture of piracy during its 'Golden Age.' It is a fascinating study of how pirates were viewed by their contemporaries and their impact on politics and economies through time. The Golden Age of Piracy is a provocative, scholarly, and entertaining book on a topic we only think we know about.
