"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 eaisly 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 the 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 dnagerous women,
who terrorized the high seas"
