Recenzii

"In a British historiographical context, Owen Stanwood has produced a timely intervention; in an Americanist one, a fresh interpretation of the Glorious Revolution... Stanwood's masterful research and writing make an invaluable contribution to debate over this ever-intriguing event."-American Historical Review "Stanwood's book is excellent when illustrating the diverse local triggers for the Glorious Revolution in the colonies. He demonstrates that while this was a shared experience across the British Atlantic, it was also a series of events that set one colony's experience apart from another's. However, the book is most exciting when it shows how local concerns in America intersected with imperial concerns, driven from London."-Itinerario "Deeply and broadly researched, The Empire Reformed offers a compelling explanation for the political turbulence in colonial North America in the late seventeenth century, and frames it powerfully in a narrative account that makes sense of events in the region from the Chesapeake northward, between the Great Lakes to the West, and the Atlantic Ocean to the East."-Mark Peterson, University of California, Berkeley
