For God, King, and People: Forging Commonwealth Bonds in Renaissance Virginia (published
Condition: VeryGood.
"For God, King, and People: Forging Commonwealth Bonds in Renaissance Virginia" by Alexander B. Haskell is a scholarly exploration of the ideological motivations driving early English colonization in Virginia. The book posits that colonists viewed their endeavor as a divinely ordained mission to create a godly commonwealth, intertwining concepts of sovereignty and divine providence that shaped governance in the new territory. Haskell traces a transformation in political thought, from Renaissance humanism to a more hierarchical imperial vision, while critiquing the simplification of the colonization process with terms like "settling." This work offers a sophisticated analysis of the ideological complexities of Virginia's early colonial."
Jacket present with very minimal shelfwear.
