The Swashbuckling Press

DEFOE, DANIEL 
He started it all! It is his works that helped inspire the greats! He is credited with having the first novel formats, and, in my opinion, he also had the first "official" Swashbuckling books! He got down to the dirt of the local gossip of his day, and actually interviewed people who lived the strange situations he wrote about. Robinson Crusoe was a real man, though his name was different, and when he returned from his adventures abroad, DeFoe went to him to get inspiration for his story. He even went amongt Pirates of his day to get great stories!

WORKS BY THIS AUTHOR:

Robinson Crusoe

Notorious Pyrates

Rob Roy: Higland Rogue

DUMAS, ALEXANDRE 
This is perhaps the greatest of all Swashbuckling authors. Born in France, Dumas, with his stories, would become the most famous man in France in his time, being more popular than even the King! His greatest times, however, is when he teamed with a gifted writer named Maquet, and together Dumas would produce his most talented works, including: The d'Artagnan romances and the Count of Monte Cristo. I have also dedicated an entire page to Dumas, and you can access his page HERE!
