About this book
In 1728 a life of Captain Misson opened the second volume of The History of the Pyrates, issued under the name Captain Charles Johnson and attributed to Daniel Defoe since 1932. This edition adds an introduction and a bibliographical note. The introduction treats Misson as a fictional founder of a communist utopia and reads Defoe's pirates as a comment on injustice and hypocrisy in English society under Walpole's government. Misson's colony, Libertalia, is set on Madagascar.
