Representation of Pirate lives in the selective narratives of Eighteenth Century
Abstract
Since the "Golden Age of Piracy," roughly from 1690 to 1730, pirates have played an important role in the cultural imagination. The English word ‘Pirate’ is derived from Latin ‘Pirata’ (sea-robber). Overtime it came to be used as anyone who is operational in brigandry on land or sea. Pirates were described as ‘hostis humani generis’ (enemies of mankind).
