William Burdett is the author of The Life and Exploits of Three-Finger'd Jack (1801). While little is known about Burdett, his pamphlet is inspired by the story of Jack Mansong a. k. a. Three-Fingered Jack, an eighteenth-century leader of runaway slaves in the Colony of Jamaica. Burdett's novel went through several editions and seems to have been immensely popular in England.
