Advancing Empire: English Interests and Overseas Expansion, 1613–1688

Description

In Advancing Empire, L. H. Roper explores the origins and early development of English in another country expansion. Roper makes a speciality of the networks of aristocrats, merchants, and colonial-imperialists who worked to keep watch over the transport and production of exotic commodities, such as tobacco and sugar, in addition to the labor required to produce them. He’s primarily interested within the relationship between the English state and the people it governed, the role of that state in imperial development, the socio-political character of English colonies and English relations with Asians, Africans, American Indians, and other Europeans in another country. The activities stimulated the expansion and integration of global territorial and commercial interests that become the British Empire within the eighteenth century. In exploring these activities from a much wider viewpoint, Roper offers a novel conclusion that revises popular analyses of the English Empire and of Anglo-The us.
