Bibliography. . 330 $aThis open access book explores the role of religion in England's overseas companies and the formation of English governmental identity abroad in the seventeenth century. Drawing on research into the Virginia, East India, Massachusetts Bay, Plymouth, New England and Levant Companies, it offers a comparative global assessment of the inextricable links between the formation of English overseas government and various models of religious governance across England's emerging colonial empire. While these approaches to governance varied from company to company, each sought to regulate the behaviour of their personnel, as well as the numerous communities and faiths which fell within their jurisdiction. This book provides a crucial reassessment of the seventeenth-century foundations of British imperial governance. 410 0$aNew Transculturalisms, 1400?1800,$x2946-5346 606 $aEurope$xHistory$x1492- 606 $aImperialism 606 $aReligion$xHistory 606 $aGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aHistory of Early Modern Europe 606 $aImperialism and Colonialism 606 $aHistory of Religion 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland 615 0$aEurope$xHistory$x1492-. 615 0$aImperialism. 615 0$aReligion$xHistory. 615 0$aGreat Britain$xHistory. 615 14$aHistory of Early Modern Europe. 615 24$aImperialism and Colonialism. 615 24$aHistory of Religion. 615 24$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 676 $a909.097124106 676 $a909.097124106 686 $aHIS000000$aHIS010000$aHIS015000$aREL033000$2bisacsh 700 $aSmith$b Haig Z$01076355 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910520098603321 996 $aReligion and Governance in England?s Emerging Colonial Empire, 1601?1698$94450842 997 $aUNINA
