Editorial Reviews

Review

The essays in this collection are in turns stimulating, provocative, and enlightening. They represent some of the best new work on the political history of the American Revolution and highlight some promising new directions in Atlantic history.

― Journal of Southern History

The many interesting essays in this volume together constitute a valuable scholarly contribution.

-- Eric Hinderaker ― Journal of Colonialism and Colonial History

Taken together, these essays whet the reader's appetite for more.

-- Colin Bonwick ― Journal of American History

Exciting new collection.

-- Peter A. Coclanis ― New West Indian Guide

A stout, wide-ranging and well-produced volume which includes many useful contributions and testifies to ways in which the American Revolution has now been accommodated.

― Journal of American Studies

In very thin disguise, this book is a thoroughly deserved festschrift for Johns Hopkins historian and long-time Doktorvater, Jack P. Greene.

-- Edward Countryman ― Journal of the Early Republic

An excellent collection of specialized monographs on a variety of topics in the reformation of the British Empire following the Seven Years War.

-- Wayne F. Anderson ― Sixteenth Century Journal

This collection of essays represents an important and rigorously-researched body of scholarship.

-- James E. Bradley ― Parliamentary History

From the Inside Flap

In Empire and Nation, leading historians reconsider the American Revolution as a transnational event, with many sources and momentous implications for Ireland, Africa, the West Indies, Canada, and Britain itself.

The opening section of the book situates the origins of the American Revolution in the commercial, ethnic, and political ferment that characterized Britain's Atlantic empire at the close of the Seven Years' War. The second part focuses on the rebellion of the thirteen colonies, touching on slavery and ethnicity, the changing nature of religious faith, and ideas about civil society and political organization. Finally, contributors examine the effects of the American Revolution both within Britain's remaining imperial possessions and among the other states in the emerging concert of Europe.

The essays in this collection are in turns stimulating, provocative, and enlightening. They represent some of the best new work on the political history of the American Revolution and highlight some promising new directions in Atlantic history.--Journal of Southern History
