Summary: “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”—Provided by publisher.
