ENGLISH ATLANTIC IN AN AGE OF REVOLUTION, THE (1640-1661)

In this ambitious study of a neglected subject, Carla Gardina Pestanainterrogates how changes in social, religious, and political matters in England's overseas colonies were influenced by the course of revolution in England, Scotland, and Ireland. She particularly demonstrates the enduring impact of the Cromwellian regime upon the English presence in the Atlantic. Drawing on a wealth of sources, she poses intelligent questions that elicit frequently surprising answers. This is a compelling contribution to Atlantic history.
