Spanning the North Atlantic rim from Canada to Scotland, and from
the Caribbean to the coast of West Africa, the British Atlantic
world is deeply interconnected across its regions. In this
groundbreaking study, thirteen leading scholars explore the idea of
transatlanticism-or a shared ""Atlantic world"" experience-through
the lens of architecture and built spaces in the British Atlantic
world from the seventeenth century through the mid-nineteenth
century. Examining town planning, churches, forts, merchants'
stores, state houses, and farm houses, this collection shows how
the powerful visual language of architecture and design allowed the
people of this era to maintain common cultural experiences while
still forming their individuality. By studying the interplay
between physical construction and social themes that include
identity, gender, taste, domesticity, politics, and race, the
authors interpret material culture in a way that particularly
emphasizes the people who built, occupied, and used the spaces and
reflects the complex cultural exchanges between Britain and the New
World.
