The British and French in the Atlantic 1650-1800: Comparisons and Contrasts: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The British and French in the Atlantic 1650-1800: Comparisons and Contrasts" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

The British and French in the Atlantic 1650-1800 provides a comprehensive history of this complex period and explores the contrasting worlds of the British and the French Empires as they strove to develop new societies in the Americas.

Charting the volatile relationship between the British and French, this book examines the approaches that both empires took as they attempted to realise their ambitions of exploration, conquest and settlement, and highlights the similarities as well as the differences between them. Both empires faced slave revolts, internal rebellion and revolution as well as frequent wars against one another, which came to dominate the Atlantic world, and which culminated in the eventual failure of both empires in North America: the French following the Seven Years War in 1763 and the British twenty years later in the war against American Independence.

Delving into key themes, such as exploration and settlement, the creation of societies, inequality and exploitation, conflict and violence, trade and slavery, and featuring a range of documents to enable a deeper insight into the relationship between the colonising Europeans and Native Americans, The British and French in the Atlantic 1650-1800 is ideal for students of the Atlantic World, early modern Britain and France, and colonial America.

The British and French in the Atlantic 16501800 provides a comprehensive history of this complex period and explores the contrasting worlds of the British and the French empires as they strove to develop new societies in the Americas.
Charting the volatile relationship between the British and French, this book examines the approaches that both empires took as they attempted to realise their ambitions of exploration, conquest, and settlement, and highlights the similarities as well as the differences between them. Both empires faced slave revolts, internal rebellion, and revolution, as well as frequent wars against one another, which came to dominate the Atlantic world and which culminated in the eventual failure of both empires in North America: the French following the end of the Seven Years War in 1763 and the British 20 years later in the war against American independence.
Delving into key themes, such as exploration and settlement, the creation of societies, inequality and exploitation, conflict and violence, trade and slavery, and featuring a range of documents to enable a deeper insight into the relationship between the colonising Europeans and Native Americans, The British and French in the Atlantic 16501800 is ideal for students of the Atlantic World, early modern Britain and France, and colonial America.
Gwenda Morgan, formerly Reader in American History and American Studies at the University of Sunderland, is now Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Durham. She has published on law and society in colonial America and the young republic, a monograph on Richmond County, Virginia, and The Debate on the American Revolution (2007).
Together they have published Eighteenth-Century Criminal Transportation: The Formation of the Criminal Atlantic (2003) and Banishment in the Early Atlantic World: Convicts, Rebels and Slaves (2013).
Peter Rushton is Professor of Historical Sociology at the University of Sunderland. He has published widely on aspects of the personal and social relations of early modern England, from witchcraft and welfare, to problems of marriage and family life.
Introduction to the series
History is the narrative constructed by historians from traces left by the past. Historical enquiry is often driven by contemporary issues and, in consequence, historical narratives are constantly reconsidered, reconstructed, and reshaped. The fact that different historians have different perspectives on issues means that there is often controversy and no universally agreed version of past events. Seminar Studies was designed to bridge the gap between current research and debate, and the broad, popular general surveys that often date rapidly.
The volumes in the series are written by historians who are not only familiar with the latest research and current debates concerning their topic but who have themselves contributed to our understanding of the subject. The books are intended to provide the reader with a clear introduction to a major topic in history. They provide both a narrative of events and a critical analysis of contemporary interpretations. They include the kinds of tools generally omitted from specialist monographs: a chronology of events, a glossary of terms, and brief biographies of whos who. They also include bibliographical essays in order to guide students to the literature on various aspects of the subject. Students and teachers alike will find that the selection of documents will stimulate the discussion and offer insight into the raw materials used by historians in their attempt to understand the past.
