Wagner.The first volume devoted to literary pirates in the nineteenth century, this collection examines changes in the representation of the pirate from the beginning of the nineteenth century through the late Victorian period. Gone were the dangerous ruffians of the eighteenth-century novel and in their place emerged a set of brooding and lovable rogues, as exemplified by Byron's Corsair. As the contributors engage with acts of piracy by men and women in the literary marketplace as well as on the high seas, they show that both forms were foundational in the promotion and execution of Britain's imperial ambitions. Linking the pirate's development as a literary figure with the history of piracy and the making of the modern state tells us much about race, class, and evolving gender relationships. While individual chapters examine key texts like Treasure Island, Dickens's 1857 'mutiny' story in Household Words, and Peter Pan, the collection as a whole interrogates the growth of pirate myths and folklore throughout the nineteenth century and the depiction of their nautical heirs in contemporary literature and culture.English literature19th centuryHistory and criticismPirates in literaturePiratesHistory19th centuryPiracyHistory19th centuryEnglish literatureHistory and criticism.Pirates in literature.PiratesHistoryPiracyHistory820.93556Moore Grace1974-983032MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910154588203321Pirates and mutineers of the nineteenth century2243615UNINA
