Britain's emergence as one of Europe's major maritime powers has
all too frequently been subsumed by nationalistic narratives that
focus on operations and technology. This volume, by contrast,
offers a daring new take on Britain's maritime past. It brings
together scholars from a range of disciplines to explore the
manifold ways in which the sea shaped British history,
demonstrating the number of approaches that now have a stake in
defining the discipline of maritime history. The chapters analyse
the economic, social, and cultural contexts in which English
maritime endeavour existed, as well as discussing representations
of the sea. The contributors show how people from across the
British Isles increasingly engaged with the maritime world, whether
through their own lived experiences or through material culture.
The volume also includes essays that investigate encounters between
English voyagers and indigenous peoples in Africa, and the
intellectual foundations of imperial ambition.
