This is a fascinating and unique account of Britain's rise as a
global imperial power told through the lives of over forty
individuals from a huge range of backgrounds. Miles Ogborn relates
and connects the stories of monarchs and merchants, planters and
pirates, slaves and sailors, captives and captains, reactionaries
and revolutionaries, artists and abolitionists from all corners of
the globe. These dramatic stories give new life to the exploration
of the history and geography of changing global relationships,
including settlement in North America, the East India Company's
trade and empire, transatlantic trade, the slave trade, the rise
and fall of piracy, and scientific voyaging in the Pacific. Through
these many biographies, including those of Anne Bonny, Captain
Cook, Queen Elizabeth I, Pocahontas, and Walter Ralegh, early
modern globalisation is presented as something through which
different people lived in dramatically contrasting ways, but in
which everyone played a part.
