Piracy in the Early Modern Era: An Anthology of Sources

Arne Bialuschewski, "Piracy in the Early Modern Era: An Anthology of Sources"
English | ISBN: 1624668240 | 2019 | 200 pages | PDF | 38 MB

"This volume represents a sea change in educational resources for the history of piracy. In a single, readable, and affordable volume, Lane and Bialuschewski present a wonderfully diverse body of primary texts on sea raiders. Drawn from a variety of sources, including the authors' own archival research and translations, these carefully curated texts cover over two hundred years (1548–1726) of global, early-modern piracy. Lane and Bialuschewski provide glosses of each document and a succinct introduction to the historical context of the period and avoid the romanticized and Anglo-centric depictions of maritime predation that often plague work on the topic."
—Jesse Cromwell, The University of Mississippi
