L'identità dell'autore dell'opera del 1724, Storia generale delle rapine e degli omicidi dei pirati più famigerati, rimane sconosciuta. Nonostante la frequente attribuzione a Daniel Defoe, questo testo fondamentale offre un racconto vivido e duraturo delle vite e delle imprese dei pirati. La sua continua pubblicazione in numerose edizioni e traduzioni in tutto il mondo sottolinea il fascino duraturo per l'Età d'Oro della Pirateria e le sue figure leggendarie.
