Book Review

The Creation of the British Atlantic World. Ed. by Elizabeth Mancke and Carole Shammas. (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 2005. viii, 400 pp. $52.00, ISBN 0-8018-8039-4.)

The popularity of Atlantic history is proven by a stream of publications in recent years, but few have attained the quality of this excellent collection of thirteen essays fronted by a robust introduction.

On the second issue, contributors to The Creation of the British Atlantic World stake a claim for Johns Hopkins University since Jack Greene is general editor of the series in which this volume appears, Anglo-America in the Transatlantic World, and both editors and twelve of the fifteen contributors to this particular volume hold their doctoral degrees from that university.
