  • Nancy Blackett, Amazon pirate, master and part-owner of the Amazon, the Terror of the Seas, was christened Ruth (PM1) but took the name Nancy with her Uncle Jim's encouragement because "pirates are ruthless" (SA10). Nancy Blackett is a character in nine of the twelve juvenile novels in Arthur Ransome's Swallows and Amazons series. She is a bit of a tomboy;acting as captain of the dinghy Amazon and usually directing her friends in their various adventures. Nancy apparently has no real-world counterpart as an inspirational source for Ransome but appears to be completely the author's creation. Nancy is sometimes critically viewed as a subversive character for girl readers, suggesting an alternative choice to feminine domesticity, and one commentator obliquely hinted Nancy would have fulfilled a lesbian destiny. The character appeared in a 1963 BBC television adaptation of Swallows and Amazons as well as in a 1974 film adaptation of the book.
