Bibliography. .This open access book explores the role of religion in England's overseas companies and the formation of English governmental identity abroad in the seventeenth century. Drawing on research into the Virginia, East India, Massachusetts Bay, Plymouth, New England and Levant Companies, it offers a comparative global assessment of the inextricable links between the formation of English overseas government and various models of religious governance across England's emerging colonial empire. While these approaches to governance varied from company to company, each sought to regulate the behaviour of their personnel, as well as the numerous communities and faiths which fell within their jurisdiction. This book provides a crucial reassessment of the seventeenth-century foundations of British imperial governance.New Transculturalisms, 1400–1800,2946-5346EuropeHistory1492-ImperialismReligionHistoryGreat BritainHistoryHistory of Early Modern EuropeImperialism and ColonialismHistory of ReligionHistory of Britain and IrelandEuropeHistory1492-.Imperialism.ReligionHistory.Great BritainHistory.History of Early Modern Europe.Imperialism and Colonialism.History of Religion.History of Britain and Ireland.909.097124106909.097124106HIS000000HIS010000HIS015000REL033000bisacshSmith Haig Z1076355MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910520098603321Religion and Governance in England’s Emerging Colonial Empire, 1601–16984450842UNINA
