Edited Volume – The Problem of Piracy in the Early Modern World: Maritime Predation, Empire, and the Construction of Authority at Sea

We are excited to share that we have now signed a contract with Amsterdam University Press to complete an edited volume for the Maritime Humanities, 1400-1800: Cultures of the Sea series edited by Claire Jowitt and John McAleer.

This will be titled The Problem of Piracy in the Early Modern World: Maritime Predation, Empire, and the Construction of Authority at Sea and includes ten chapters by presenters at the 2019 conference.

We expect this to appear in print in 2022.
