内容説明

In recent years an upsurge of interest in colonial British-American history has transformed the field as much as any other in the English-speaking world. The editors (one American, one British) of this collection of fifteen original essays have brought together a highly representative selection of American, British, and Canadiam scholars, all of whom have significantly contributed to the recent historiographical transformation. The aim has been twofold: to summarize and evaluate the achievement, and to suggest the themes and problems that now demand the attention of historical research in order to indicate the directions that research should take. At the same time, by bringing modern methods to bear on the period, this remarkably comprehensive collection goes far to redefine the field and to make America's colonial past more lively and more intelligible than ever before.

内容説明

"Taken together, these essays constitute a better summing up--part critique, part appreciation--than anything else in print of work done in any field of American history. Nowhere else can we learn so easily and so well what to read about colonial America...A very useful volume of considerable distinction".--William Abbott, editor, "The Papers of George Washington".
