This book foregrounds the role of the Royal Navy in creating the
British Atlantic in the eighteenth century. It outlines the closely
entwined connections between the nurturing of naval supremacy, the
politics of commercial protection, and the development of national
and imperial identities - crucial factors in the consolidation and
transformation of the British Atlantic empire. The collection
brings together scholars working on aspects of the Royal Navy and
the British Atlantic in order to gain a better understanding of the
ways that the Navy protected, facilitated, and shaped the
British-Atlantic empire in the era of war, revolution,
counter-revolution, and upheaval between the beginning of the Seven
Years War and the end of the conflict with Napoleonic France.
Contributions question the limits - conceptually and geographically
- of that Atlantic world, suggesting that, by considering the Royal
Navy and the British Atlantic together, we can gain greater
insights into Britain's maritime history.
