The book builds on new transoceanic scholarship and recent calls to approach early American studies from a global perspective. Such scholarship\u003cbr\u003ehas largely focused on the early national period; Bross's work begins earlier and considers the intertwined identities of America, other English colonial sites and metropolitan England during a period before nation-state identities were hardened into the forms we know them today, when an English\u003cbr\u003eempire was nascent, not realized, and when a global perspective such as we might recognize it was just coming into focus for early modern Europeans. The author examines works that imagine England on a global stage in the Americas and East Indies just as--and in some cases even before--England\u003cbr\u003eoccupied such spaces in force. \u003cem\u003eFuture History\u003c\/em\u003e considers works written from the 1620s to the 1670s, but the center of gravity of \u003cem\u003eFuture History\u003c\/em\u003e is writing at the mid-century, that is, writings coincident with the Interregnum, a time when England plotted and launched ambitious, often violent schemes\u003cbr\u003eto conquer, colonize or otherwise appropriate other lands, driven by both mercantile and religious desires.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kristina Bross\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/13\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.20w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190665135\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKristina Bross\u003c\/strong\u003e is an Associate Professor of English at Purdue University and the author of \u003cem\u003eDry Bones and Indian Sermons: Praying Indians in Colonial America\u003c\/em\u003e (Cornell UP, 2004).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":39929213190259,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":80.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_f85c8897-c49c-4f72-9e5c-cd905c5d0e99.jpg?v=1647611647","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/future-history-global-fantasies-in-seventeenth-century-american-and-british-writings-9780190665135","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
