This book discusses the quality of life of early modern Britons
emigrating to the New World, which became possible with advances in
shipbuilding and long-distance sailing. It examines the status and
quality of life of those crossing the Atlantic Ocean under legal
contract, the indenture - largely to the Carolinas and the
communities adjoining Chesapeake Bay in the USA in the 17th
century, and also describes and numerically estimates the quality
of life among Britons sentenced to "transportation beyond the
seas," who were transported to Australia in the mid-19th century.
The author examines the experience of migrants, both adults and
children, traveling to the New World and their fate, drawing on
documentary sources like state historical records as well as
self-documentation from the few surviving diaries. The book also
creates profiles of the quality of life of emigrants by gender and
age and places the processes of emigration in the social-political
contexts of the 17th and 19th centuries. By considering ways in
which aspects of social life were organized in eras before
structural inquiry into the quality of life, the book provides
interesting historical perspectives as well as methodological
insights. It appeals to researchers and students interested in the
quality of life and wellbeing, and in the history of modern Europe,
particularly of the British Empire.
