Brief Description

The Princeton Companion to Atlantic History will be the first encyclopedic reference work to explore Atlantic history in its full multi-continental scope. The Companion will take into account the multiple perspectives that the Atlantic World embodies, with an accent on its dynamics of change.

  • Part One: Introductory essays will investigate the dynamics distinctive to each of four large chronological periods.
  • Part Two: A set of shorter A to Z essays will examine specific places, strategies, and groups central to understanding the complexities of these engagements.

The Companion will thus offer students, as well as practicing scholars, the first comprehensive reference guide to this growing field, in an epistemologically challenging historical examination of concepts critical to it.
