For God, king, and people : forging commonwealth bonds in Renaissance Virginia

Haskell, Alexander B. (author.). Omohundro Institute of Early American History & Culture. (Added Author).

Summary: By recovering a largely forgotten English Renaissance mindset that regarded sovereignty and providence as being fundamentally entwined, Alexander Haskell reconnects concepts historians had before treated as separate categories and argues that the first English planters in Virginia operated within a deeply providential age rather than an era of early modern entrepreneurialism.
