English Atlantics Revisited: Essays Honouring Professor Ian K. Steele. Ed. by Nancy L. Rhoden. (Montreal: McGill-Queen's University Press, 2007. xxviii, 528 pp. $85.00, ISBN 978-0-7735-3219-9.)

Success, we are told, has many fathers. Judged by any standard, Atlantic history in the last generation has been a smashing success: who, then, can claim paternity? Popular American candidates might include W. E. B. Du Bois, R. R. Palmer, Philip D. Curtin, Jack P. Greene, and Bernard Bailyn. Looking only a little further afield, to North America as a whole, turns up an impressive roster of Canadians to add to the list: Harold A. Innis, a chronicler of commerce, communications, and empire; J. Bartlet Brebner, a historian of "the North Atlantic triangle"; and, most recently and inspiringly, Ian K. Steele, the author of The English Atlantic, 1675–1740 (1986) and a host of other writings that have been vital for the current efflorescence of Atlantic history.
