An examination into the homoerotic and other transgressive aspects of the pirates worldDespite, or perhaps because of, our lack of actual knowledge about pirates, an immense architecture of cultural mythology has arisen around them. Three hundred years of novels, plays, painting, and movies have etched into the popular imagination contradictory images of the pirate as both archcriminal and antihero par excellence. How did the piratea real threat to mercantilism and trade in earlymodern Britainbecome the hypermasculine antihero familiar to us through a variety of pop culture outlets? How did the pirates world, marked as it was by sexual and economic transgression, come to capture our collective imagination?In Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash, Hans Turley delves deep into the archives to examine the homoerotic and other culturally transgressive aspects of the pirates world and our prurient fascination with it. Turley fastens his eye on historical documents, trial records, and the confessions of pirates, as well as literary works such as Robinson Crusoe, to track the birth and development of the pirate image and to show its implications for changing notions of self, masculinity, and sexuality in the modern era.Turleys wideranging analysis provides a new kind of history of both piracy and desire, articulating the meaning of the pirates contradictory image to literary, cultural, and historical studies.

This book is a goldmine for those exploring masculine identity. The intersections of sexuality and piracy were fascinating and often surprising. It’s a bit heavy on theory, so be prepared to think deeply, but it’s definitely enlightening!

The historical context woven throughout 'Sodomy and the Lash' really enhances the discussion on masculinity and piracy. I appreciated the academic approach, though it requires some patience to digest. Recommended for anyone who loves history with their sociology!
