This book foregrounds the role of the Royal Navy in creating the British
Atlantic in the eighteenth century. It outlines the closely entwined
connections between the nurturing of naval supremacy, the politics of
commercial protection, and the development of national and imperial
identities – crucial factors in the consolidation and transformation of
the British Atlantic empire. The collection brings together scholars
working on aspects of the Royal Navy and the British Atlantic in order
to gain a better understanding of the ways that the Navy protected,
facilitated, and shaped the British-Atlantic empire in the era of war,
revolution, counter-revolution, and upheaval between the beginning of
the Seven Years War and the end of the conflict with Napoleonic France.
Contributions question the limits – conceptually and geographically – of
that Atlantic world, suggesting that, by considering the Royal Navy and
the British Atlantic together, we can gain greater insights into
Britain’s maritime history.
