The English Atlantic, 1675-1740 : an exploration of communication and community

Steele, Ian K. (Ian Kenneth) 1937- (author.).

Summary: This study sets out to overcome the curious prejudice that the ocean is a barrier rather than a means of communication, demonstrating this with regard to the Engish Atlantic empire. It is not realized how closely Britain and the American colonies were connected throughout the colonial period.
