ABSTRACT This article focuses on British maritime law to discuss the challenge of transferring Admiralty law to Britain's Atlantic colonies, considered through the lens pirate trials and executions. Colonial governors in North America and the West Indies tolerated piracy during the seventeenth century to obtain goods barred from the restrictions imposed by the Navigation Acts. These deals were largely ignored, but the increasing piratical insults against the Crown and pressure from foreign competitors, such as Spain, forced British officials to crack down on piracy. Unfortunately, years of tolerating pirates had allowed these criminals to become too numerous for British officials to transport captured pirates back to England for trial and executions. As a result, by 1700 they had to establish their maritime legal ruling body, the Admiralty Court, throughout the American colonies under the jurisdiction of local governors. However, complex geographical challenges in the Caribbean and religiously influenced social laws in North America forced colonial governors to alter the English system to fit their needs and create autonomous legal networks. This article argues that the establishment and maintenance of British Admiralty law in the Atlantic colonies led to the development of early American ideas of autonomy.

ABSTRACT This article considers three plays on the theme of piracy written by Thomas Heywood between 1597 and 1631: The fair maid of the west, part I and part II, and Fortune by land and sea (co-authored with William Rowley). Though all of these plays are set during the reign of Elizabeth I, only The fair maid of the west, part I was written during her lifetime, the two later works being written during the reigns of her successors, James I and Charles I. These plays can be read as a vehicle by which the very different attitudes towards piracy, foreign policy, and national expansion demonstrated by the three consecutive monarchs were interrogated, contrasted, and critiqued. Considered separately each of these works offers a snapshot of the popular view of piracy and privateering at the time of writing; read together they give a much broader insight into contemporary attitudes towards the evolution of England as a maritime power.

globalisation, economic history, organisational history, the history of science, medicine and technology, social history, and cultural history, among others. The purpose of the chapter is to bring the current debates in naval history to their current standing, illustrating where scholarship currently focuses and illuminating issues that still call for attention. In writing this book, Harding has produced a very effective and informative tool for researchers, particularly those from neighbouring fields that could find use in examining the history of seapower. Interested laymen will also find this book thought-provoking, particularly if they are fond of reading the histories discussed within. However, what seems most excited about this book is its value to graduate students or new researchers with aspirations of studying naval history, or even more broad interests in military history. This reviewer has already added it as the first book to be read and discussed in his graduate seminar, ‘Naval Warfare 1850–1950’, in coming semesters. Many graduate students will also undoubtedly be thankful for Harding’s detailed depiction of the historiography of the subject, and also get use from the book’s 97 pages of notes and bibliography. This book will undoubtedly prove to be an initial navigational chart for many future research projects. History professors teaching naval history will find it invaluable for student understanding of the broad issues interwoven throughout the subject. Seasoned researchers will find it a valuable reference. Importantly, those in adjacent historical fields, of which Harding describes many, would do well to pick through this book for the potential contributions of naval history to their own research. In this book, we have a tool that does what it says on the tin. It explains the importance of naval history, ‘how it developed, what its contribution has been and thus what are the lacunae, the opportunities for new questions, new research and even new a new agenda for naval history’ (2). By putting the historiography into context, Harding has produced a sophisticated study of the literature that will guide readers through past and present state of the discipline, and will certainly influence the future of naval history.

The 2015 SDSR, ‘Britain’s voice in the world’, continues to envisage a global mission for the country’s armed forces, though the role of the carrier within that has changed. CVA-01’s cancellation was justified on the grounds that ‘intervention alone against a well-armed enemy... should no longer be a capability that Britain would retain’ (74), and while coalition warfare remains Britain’s preferred modus operandi, it is now perceived that its two new 65,000-ton Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers (due for commissioning in 2017 and 2020) have a role to play in that. With an increase of just 400 recruits, however, the heavy crew demands of the carriers will have a knock-on effect upon the fleet’s composition, its manpower and escort numbers, just as they would have four decades earlier.

To that end, readers might hunger for a chapter on how English jurisprudence at the time drew lines between freedom and bondage, for it is in the practice of law that boundaries are often staked out to bring greater clarity to issues muddled in the collisions of life. That said, this volume advances the discussion of how a body of loose and fluid ethnic prejudice in the Anglo-Atlantic world evolved into a full-blown system of modern racism.
