Alas, the Age of Piracy was about 50-100 years before the Age of Sail, technically speaking. The height of piracy was the late 1600s to around 1720's or so. After the 1720s was when the various world navies started really cracking down and rubbing out the pirate havens of the West Indies and Madagascar. But the ships are the same and there's a lot of crossover/fudging of dates, and it's not like there weren't still pirates in the late 1700s...

I'm all about the Age of Piracy, anon, but I tend to steer clear of Robert Louis Stevenson in all his over-romanticizing pomposity. Actual historical fiction of pirates is hilariously over the top.

NA Most modern fiction about pirates is also hilariously over the top. :P

Do you have any recs? Fiction/non-fiction? Your great recs and the most ridiculous thing you've ever read! I take them all!

If you're interested, The Pirates of Barbary by Adrian Tinniswood (non fiction)is a good read.

My heart warms at the knowledge that there are some people out there into Age of Piracy. :)

Do you have any recs on later pirates, anon? I'm looking at the Indian Ocean particularly.

/fingers crossed

Depends on who you ask. I've seen the case made for the Age Of Sail beginning around 1630, and a lot of people include some pirate fiction under the header because of that.

And then you get complete Fantasy Fiction like Pirates of the Caribbean, which has steering wheels and big, hunking 100 gun three deckers (owned by the EITC for some reason? Which is somehow super powerful and can command the navy to do things????) AND pirates at the same time. Well, and sea monsters of course.
