Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash

Three hundred years of novels, plays, painting and movies have etched into popular imagination contradictory images of the pirate as both arch-criminal and anti-hero. How did the pirate-a real threat to mercantilism and trade in early-modern Britain-become the hypermasculine anti-hero familiar to us through a variety of pop culture outlets?
