This three-volume set examines the half-century that saw sweeping changes across the Atlantic World; where monarchies were replaced by republics, privileges by equal rights, and American colonies by independent countries. This comprehensive analysis will interest scholars and students of history, politics and sociology.
In three volumes, The Cambridge History of the Age of Atlantic Revolutions brings together experts on all corners of the Atlantic World who reveal the age in all its complexity. The Age of Atlantic Revolutions formed the transition from an era marked by monarchical rule, privileges, and colonialism to an age that stood out for republican rule, legal equality, and the sovereignty of American nations. The seventy-one chapters included reflect the latest trends and discussions on this transformative part of history, highlighting not only the causes, key events, and consequences of the revolutions, but stressing the political experimentation, contingency, and survival of colonial institutions. The volumes also examine the attempts of enslaved and indigenous people, and free people of color, to change their plight, offering a much-needed revision to R.R. Palmer's first synthesis of this era sixty years ago.
