Book Synopsis
Lunsford (history, US Naval Academy) offers considerable factual information about Dutch privateering from the late 16th to the early 18th centuries, and introduces some of the first raw data on Dutch piracy during the period. But further, she explores the cultural identities that privateers and pirates maintained in the early modern Netherlands, and the special place the sea robber held in the Golden Age Republican mentality. Writing social history, she draws on popular imagery, songs and poetry, and decorative arts as well as more formal sources. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
