- Summary:
- Inspired by the major themes in Steele's scholarship, the original essays in English Atlantics Revisited examine British Atlantic contexts and political economy, as well as maritime, military, Amerindian, and social history. The contributors offer challenging new findings and perspectives as they revisit the English Atlantics: chapters on specific personalities, regions, and topics reveal the extent of transatlantic, cross-cultural, and trans-national interactions. English Atlantics Revisited help assess the current state of Atlantic history.
