The Quality of Internal Life. . 330 $aThis book discusses the quality of life of early modern Britons emigrating to the New World, which became possible with advances in shipbuilding and long-distance sailing. It examines the status and quality of life of those crossing the Atlantic Ocean under legal contract, the indenture ? largely to the Carolinas and the communities adjoining Chesapeake Bay in the USA in the 17th century, and also describes and numerically estimates the quality of life among Britons sentenced to ?transportation beyond the seas,? who were transported to Australia in the mid-19th century. The author examines the experience of migrants, both adults and children, traveling to the New World and their fate, drawing on documentary sources like state historical records as well as self-documentation from the few surviving diaries. The book also creates profiles of the quality of life of emigrants by gender and age and places the processes of emigration in the social?political contexts of the 17th and 19th centuries. By considering ways in which aspects of social life were organized in eras before structural inquiry into the quality of life, the book provides interesting historical perspectives as well as methodological insights. It appeals to researchers and students interested in the quality of life and wellbeing, and in the history of modern Europe, particularly of the British Empire. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Well-Being and Quality of Life Research,$x2211-7644 606 $aQuality of life 606 $aEmigration and immigration 606 $aGreat Britain?History 606 $aQuality of Life Research$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X23000 606 $aMigration$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X24000 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717020 615 0$aQuality of life. 615 0$aEmigration and immigration. 615 0$aGreat Britain?History. 615 14$aQuality of Life Research. 615 24$aMigration. 615 24$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 676 $a306 676 $a325.41 700 $aJordan$b Thomas$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0315662 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910370054503321 996 $aQuality of Life and Early British Migration$92518061 997 $aUNINA
