Before 1607
“Before 1607” was the theme of a WMQ-EMSI workshop held at the Huntington Library in May 2013, and this article responds to the papers and discussion. Fundamentally, it questions the traditional beginning of early American history with Jamestown in 1607, and argues that this truncated approach ignores both the very powerful and important empires in the continent’s interior and the crucial role of Spanish and French expeditions in creating the kno…
The Jamestown Project
"Reconfiguring the national myth of Jamestown's failure [Karen Kupperman] shows how the settlement's distinctly messy first decade actually represents a period of ferment in which individuals were learning how to make a colony work.... the structures and practices that evolved through trial and error in Virginia would become the model for all successful English colonies, including Plymouth."--Dust jacket.

The Jamestown Project
The Scholarship and Legacy of David Beers Quinn, 1909-2002
Ireland and the European exploration and settlement of North America, transcended the old imperial history and created the field of Atlantic history. As David Dutton observed in memorial tribute, Quinn was a historian of immense industry and erudition. His immersion in the sources and his ability to see the large picture combined with an extraordinary interdisciplinary range to compose body of work that will continue to shape our view of the orig…

Visions of America since 1492
The common theme of these essays is the evolution of American cultural identities from a diverse colonial inheritance. Changing representations of what it means to be “American” are assumed to be the consequence of shifting cross-cultural or transatlantic pressures. Since 1492 the experience of America has continually been interpreted both for and by Europeans; the colonial past constituting the prime source of introspective energies and self-con…

Settling with the Indians
Settling with the Indians, while well-researched, is an extremely unsettling book. Written by Karen Ordahl Kupperman, it argues that English writers in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries only thought of Indians as human beings but even admired some of their tribal cultural traits. The author's argument is convincing to be sure, primarily because the volume contains a remarkable number of direct quotations from these early writers …

America in European Consciousness, 1493–1750
The five hundredth anniversary of Columbus's first transatlantic voyage has provoked an outpouring of scholarship on how European exploration and colonization affected America. This book of eleven essays from leading scholars in the fields of intellectual and cultural history reverses that trend by focusing on the ways in which contact with the Americas transformed European thought. The result of an international conference sponsored by the John …
Definitions of Liberty on the Eve Of Civil War
Arthur Wilson, in his History of Great Britain , (1653) named William Fiennes, first Viscount Saye and Sele, as among the few ‘gallant Spirits’ who ‘aimed at the publick Liberty more than their own interest’. He went on to say that the men he singled out, including in addition to Saye the earls of Oxford, Southampton, Essex and Warwick, ‘supported the Old English Honour and would not let it fall to the ground’. In 1640 Warwick and Saye, this time…
Indian New England before the Mayflower
In offering here a highly readable yet comprehensive description of New England's Indians as they lived when European settlers first met them, the author provides a well-rounded picture of the natives as neither savages nor heroes, but fellow human beings existing at a particular time and in a particular environment. He dispels once and for all the common notion of native New England as peopled by a handful of savages wandering in a trackless wil…

English Perceptions of Treachery, 1583–1640
English observers in North America before 1640 found much to praise in the character of the Indians. They were a cheerful people, sharing what they possessed with each other, and especially loving as parents. Churlishness was a great crime among them. They were often said to be trustworthy. Above all, they were dignified and courteous; their chief men were grave and wise. In fact, even the most hostile critic allowed the dignity of the Indian. Ty…
