Bringing to life the interaction between America, its peoples, and
metropolitan gentlemen in early seventeenth-century England, this
book argues that colonization did not just operate on the
peripheries of the political realm, and confronts the entangled
histories of colonialism and domestic status and governance. The
Jacobean era is reframed as a definitive moment in which the civil
self-presentation of the elite increasingly became implicated in
the imperial. The tastes and social lives of statesmen contributed
to this shift in the English political gaze. At the same time,
bringing English political civility in dialogue with Native
American beliefs and practices speaks to inherent tensions in the
state's civilizing project and the pursuit of refinement through
empire. This significant reassessment of Jacobean political culture
reveals how colonizing America transformed English civility and
demonstrates how metropolitan politics and social relations were
uniquely shaped by territorial expansion beyond the British Isles.
