Sommario/riassunto |
|
This study situates the colonization of Virginia in the social and political landscape of the early seventeenth century. Roper explores how the early development of the colony was viewed from both sides of the Atlantic, using the documentary record of key figures in the Virginia Company, as well as the colonisers themselves. |
