British America, 1500-1800: Creating Colonies, Imagining an Empire

by Steven Sarson

This book combines the histories of colonies and empire-usually distinct fields of inquiry-in a sweeping introduction to and interpretation of the British-American New World, arguing that while settlers created colonies, the early empire remained a largely imaginary construct. This account examines the way in which the New World was invented and offers a convincing analysis of the loss of the First British Empire.
