"This book tracks the interconnections among pirates, pirates in print, and pirates
on stage. Performance is the shared strategy for all three. Our chapters examine accounts
of piracy in historical records, in adventure stories and romance, and, crucial to
the emphasis on performativity, in stage representation. British pirates, in both
print and performance, are discussed within a nexus of influence that cares very little
for generic distinction beyond the constant of performativity. In fact and in fiction,
the role-playing pirate is traced through dozens of stage performances, including
the nautical Gothic melodrama, the adaptations of Byron, Scott, and Cooper, and the
exploits of lusty she-pirates"
