Pirate Economics in Robert Daborne's A Christian Turned Turk
Abstract:While Robert Daborne's A Christian Turned Turk (1612) is best known for its treatment of a Christian exile's conversion to Islam, it opens with a nuanced critique of early Jacobean economic policy, one wedged into a debate between captive merchants and famous pirates. Daborne's play makes use of a scene of negotiation, a debate over the impressment of two Frenchmen, not only to destabilize the commercial standards that would have distinguished "merchant-like" dealing from piracy, but also, more importantly, to articulate a shift in English economic thought toward a form of free-market capitalism, as exemplified onstage by the pirates.
期刊介绍:
SEL focuses on four fields of British literature in rotating, quarterly issues: English Renaissance, Tudor and Stuart Drama, Restoration and Eighteenth Century, and Nineteenth Century. The editors select learned, readable papers that contribute significantly to the understanding of British literature from 1500 to 1900. SEL is well known for thecommissioned omnibus review of recent studies in the field that is included in each issue. In a single volume, readers might find an argument for attributing a previously unknown work to Shakespeare or de-attributing a famous work from Milton, a study ofthe connections between class and genre in the Restoration Theater.
