Description

A masterwork of historical non fiction that reads with the clarity of today's scholarship and the gravity of yesterday's pages. England In America, 1580-1652 opens a window on the Elizabethan to early colonial era, tracing voyages to America, settlement patterns, religion and empire, and the making of two great colonies in New England and Virginia. This volume offers a concise, compelling study of colonial history that appeals to both curious readers and academic researchers. It distills a long arc of English colonisation in America into a readable narrative focused on people, places, and the ideas that shaped a youthful continent. It is more than a historical survey; it is a lens on how early modern Britain imagined and inscribed America, and how those visions became enduring institutions. The work sits at the crossroads of literary heritage and scholarly inquiry, a touchstone for history classroom use and for readers who value classic works of colonial America. Its significance lies in its carefully drawn analysis, its balanced portrayal of settlement and empire, and its lasting impact on how we study early American history today. Selling points: out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions; restored for today's and future generations; more than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. A foundational text for anyone exploring historical non fiction, the Elizabethan to early colonial era, and the rich tapestry of New England and Virginia.
