About this listen
This book is an excellent choice!
Episode Overview
Title: A General History of the Pyrates by Daniel Defoe (Chap 1) Henry Avery & Crew
Duration: 43:02
Key Figures: Henry Avery (the "Arch-Pirate" who famously vanished with his loot) and Daniel Defoe (widely believed to be the true author behind the pseudonym "Capt. Charles Johnson").
Quick Historical Context
The Author Mystery: While the book was originally attributed to Captain Charles Johnson in 1724, most modern scholars credit Daniel Defoe. Defoe's background as a journalist and his fascination with criminals (seen in Moll Flanders) makes him the prime suspect for having the "inside scoop" from Newgate Prison.
