title: Piracy, Slavery, and Redemption
author: Daniel Vitkus
description: Piracy, slavery, captivity, and redemption were compelling subjects in the sixteenth and seventeenth century; Daniel J. Vitkus and Nabil Matar have, in this well-edited volume of early English images of the Islamic world, made them equally fascinating to twenty-first-century academic and lay readers... [This] books does a fine job of making primary source material available to, and readable by, a wide audience. (Carolyn S. Knapp <i>The Historian</i>)<br /><br />[T]his collection transcends geographical and disciplinary boundaries, and researchers... will find <i>Piracy, Slavery, and Redemption</i> to be both a useful and timely volume. (Donna Amelia Vinson <i>Renaissance Quarterly</i>)
