El inglés Philip Gosse (1879-1959) fue nieto del naturalista Philip Henry Gosse, e hijo del conocido escritor Sir Edmundo Gosse. Ha pasado a la historia de la erudición sobre la piratería como uno de sus más amenos y entretenidos divulgadores, un referente esencial sobre el tema a lo largo de todo el siglo XX.Su obra sobre los piratas, su origen y su historia, está construida en cuatro volúmenes: un Quién es quien en la piratería (1924), editado también por Renacimiento en esta misma colección, My pirate library (1926, Mi biblioteca sobre piratas), Hawkins scourge of Spain (1930, Hawkins, azote o plaga de España), y este The History of Piracy (1932, Historia de la piratería) compendio de todo su saber sobre el tema en cuestión.

Let it be made clear at the very outset of this Preface that the pages which follow do not pretend to be a history of piracy, but are simply an attempt to gather together, from various sources, particulars of those redoubtable pirates and buccaneers whose names have been handed down to us in a desultory way. I do not deal here with the children of fancy; I believe that every man, or woman too—since certain of the gentler sex cut no small figure at the game—mentioned in this volume actually existed.
