Britannia's Children - Emigration from England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland Since 1600 (Hardcover)

Twenty-five million emigrants left the British Isles in the four
hundred years after 1600, mainly travelling to America or to parts
of the British Empire around the world. This huge exodus, the
greatest of any nation before the twentieth century, accounts for
much of Britain's wider impact on the world, in terms of cultural,
social and political attitudes, and notably in the legacy of the
English language as the most widely used global lingua franca.
Britannia's Children is the first account of emigration from the
British Isles as a whole, including England, Scotland, Wales and
Ireland (Ireland being part of the United Kingdom during the Great
Famine and its classic age of emigration). Eric Richards traces the
stages of this extraordinary movement from the days of Raleigh and
the Mayflower to modern times, and shows the variety of motives
that drove men and women to make the most momentous decisions of
their lives. He also provides a mass of examples of individual
cases, voyages, destinations and fates.
