How did contemporary English and European notions of sovereignty,
empire, law and state formation impact upon English methods of
settlement and governance in the Americas? Using documents such as
travel narratives, promotional literature, colonial charters, maps,
diplomatic correspondence and state papers, Ken MacMillan offers a
major new study of legal imperialism under Queen Elizabeth and the
early Stuarts. He argues that the imperial centre had a legal and
historical right and responsibility to supervise its colonial
peripheries. By drawing on legal resources associated with Roman
law and the law of nations, the crown and its agents ensured that
English New World claims would gain recognition in the broader
European community, thereby establishing legal foundations that
would have an enduring impact on the British Empire. The book will
appeal to scholars in imperial studies, English and American legal
and constitutional history, foreign affairs and the history of
international law.
