Biographical note
Nicholas Canny has published widely on the history of early modern Ireland, early modern Britain, and the history of European colonization more generally, including Making Ireland British, 1580-1650 (2001) and (as editor) volume one in the Oxford History of the British Empire series, Origins of Empire (1998). Philip Morgan is the author of Atlantic History: A Critical Appraisal (2009) and Black Experience and the Empire (2004), both published by Oxford University Press.We need to look at this world inside-out, and from bottom-to-top. The essays in this Handbook, while successfully reflecting the current state of the field, also provide some illuminating suggestions as to how we might yet do that.
Michael A. McDonnell, English Historical Review
