Produktbeschreibung

Piracy and Captivity in the Mediterranean exlores the early modern genre of Barbary Coast captivity narratives. This collection is divided into three parts, in the first two the chapters use specifically selected narratives as case studies to explore the genres of narrating captivity in Part One and authenticity and fiction in captivity narratives in Part Two. Lastly, Part Three addresses the background within which these narratives evolved, including the legal dimension, redemption documents, fictional treatments, scholarly and scientific texts and Muslim perspectives on piracy and slavery. This book is essential reading for scholars and students of early modem slavery and piracy.
