ESSAY ON: Linebaugh & Rediker/Many-Headed Hydra

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: A 5 page essay that examines The Many-Head Hydra: The Hidden History of the Revolutionary Atlantic by Peter Linebaugh and Marcus Rediker. The writer argues that this text presents an intriguing view of seventeenth and eighteenth century history, featuring the perceptive of the common people, rather than those who controlled the economic purse strings. The authors select particular historical events and the lives of specific individuals in order to illustrate the themes on which their premise is built. For example, their opening scenario, the wreck of the Sea-Venture illustrates many of the themes that permeate this volume, specifically the importance of the categories of expropriation, alternatives and cooperation. No additional sources cited.
