Sommario/riassunto: 'Future History' analyzes English and American writings that imagine England on a global stage well before England became an empire or the United States became a global power. Through close readings, historical contextualization, application of archival theory, and careful speculation, the work traces the ways that English and American writers imagined the East Indies and the West Indies as interconnected.
