This book tells the story of the Rev. Benjamin Colman (1673-1747),
one of eighteenth-century America’s most influential ministers,
and his transatlantic social world of letters. Exploring his
epistolary network reveals how imperial culture diffused through
the British Atlantic and formed the Dissenting Interest in America,
England, and Scotland. Traveling to and living in England between
1695-1699, Colman forged enduring connections with English
Dissenters that would animate and define his ministry for nearly a
half century. The chapters reassemble Colman’s epistolary web to
illuminate the Dissenting Interest’s broad range of activities
through the circulation of Dissenting histories, libraries,
missionaries, revival news, and provincial defenses of religious
liberty. This book argues that over the course of Colman’s life
the Dissenting Interest integrated, extended, and ultimately
detached, presenting the history of Protestant Dissent as
fundamentally a transatlantic story shaped by the provincial edges
of the British Empire. Â
