Migration and the Origins of the English Atlantic World (Harvard Historical Studies)

Barbara Macallan, English Historical Review [UK]
"I unhesitatingly recommend this publication to scholars whose interest is migration in the early modern period.

Review
Bernard Bailyn, Harvard University : This is an admirable work of scholarship--intensely researched, clearly written, and pointed in its interpretation. An exhaustive study of the London emigrant ship list of 1635, it traces the 5,000 people involved in western voyages whose names appear on that list--their origins, characteristics, and destinies, and the way they settled into the New World. It describes the motivation and circumstance behind their departures and the broad imperial awareness that was growing in early seventeenth-century England. Its breadth is impressive: it is a study in Atlantic history, one of the best in that growing field, and at the same time a real contribution to Anglo-American history in the early modern period.
