Indentured Servitude in Colonial America
Indentured servitude was a constitutive factor in the development of colonial America and helped shape patterns of immigration, labor relationships, citizenship, and the economy of the colonies. During the 16th through the 18th centuries, about 320,000 indentured servants, primarily from England but also from Scotland, Ireland, and elsewhere, crossed the Atlantic Ocean to the British colonies in the Americas, making up about 80 percent of white i…
In forma pauperis
Indentured servitude was an exploitative form of coerced labor in England’s American colonies, but indentured servants were expected to join settler society after completing their terms of indenture, and they possessed clearly defined legal rights and protections in both English and colonial laws, even during their period of servitude. The masters and mistresses of indentured servants sometimes engaged in physical abuse and contractual fraud, but…
The Atlantic Connection
Focusing on the interconnections of the Atlantic world from 1450-1900, The Atlantic Connection examines the major themes of Atlantic history. During this period, ships, goods, diseases, human beings and ideas flowed across the ocean, tying together the Atlantic basin in a complex web of relationships. Divided into five main thematic sections while maintaining a broadly chronological structure, this book considers key cultural themes such as gende…

John-Paul Ghobrial. The Whispers of Cities
John-Paul Ghobrial's book investigates the movement of information between Europe and the Ottoman Empire in the late seventeenth century. Through a close analysis of an immense range of documents and correspondence left by William Trumbull, English ambassador to Istanbul from 1687 to 1692, as well as newsletters, personal papers, and documents sourced from other individuals, Ghobrial traces how knowledge of the Ottoman world was transmitted and c…
Virile Turks and Maiden Ireland
This article examines the role of gender in depictions of national identity in early modern English travel literature. I show that human sexual relationships were believed to be echoed in relations between territories, which were often represented as masculine or feminine. Travellers used metaphors representing marriage, seduction and rape to describe geopolitical relationships, including colonialism, tribute payments and rebellion. Representatio…
The Genius of the English Nation
Travel literature was one of the most popular literary genres of the early modern era. This book examines how emerging concepts of national identity, imperialism, colonialism, and orientalism were worked out and represented for English readers in early travel and ethnographic writings. Using insights from a variety of scholarly fields such as history, anthropology, and literary studies, Dr. Suranyi analyzes recurrent cultural stereotypes used by …
Seventeenth-century English travel literature and the significance of foreign foodways1
Early modern English travel writers describing Europe often included detailed descriptions of foreign foodways in their narratives. These descriptions served not only to satisfy readers' curiosity about the details of foreign life, but as a means of marking cultural differences. In particular, the role of such descriptions was to emphasize and reinforce attitudes about foreign countries that were not specifically related to food. Instead, the und…
