Examining changes in the representation of the pirate from the beginning of the nineteenth century through the late Victorian period, this collection engages with acts of piracy in the literary marketplace as well as on the high seas. Both were foundational in the promotion and execution of Britain's imperial ambitions and reveal much about race, class, and evolving gender relationships.
