Charles Johnson's General History of the Pyrates and Global Commerce

Beschreibung

Examining how Charles Johnson’s 1724 bestseller General History of the Pyrates depicts figures like Blackbeard both as monsters and Great Men, Noel Chevalier explores how the work untangles the contradictions within a fiercely capitalist slave-trading Britain emerging as a colonial superpower, where ruthlessness and ambition were both feared and praised.
