Piracy and the English Government, 1616-1642, explodes the myth
that England was 'a nation of pirates', arguing that the English
people were far more often victims of piracy. The costs to the
economy and society resulting from piracy, which are critically
examined here for the first time, reveal that not only were
hundreds of English ships lost to pirates in the period, but an
astonishing number of men, women and children (approximately 8,000)
were carried away to Barbary by pirates and sold into slavery. The
response of the government to these losses, which posed significant
political problems for the early Stuart government, are explored
and related to broader political concerns and influences.
