Routledge Readers in History: The Caribbean History Reader

The Caribbean is increasingly being recognized as having been at the heart of world history and global development, despite its small geographic size. It is the lynchpin of the Atlantic economy. Further, through a series of migrations, Caribbean people have come to be represented in most of the major cities of the West, and have impacted the histories of Britain, Canada, and the United States.

Assembling an Imperial Machine

Assembling an Imperial Machine explores how eighteenth-century Spanish statesmen envisioned their empire as a finely tuned economic engine-self-sufficient, resilient, and shielded from the chaos of global markets.

Gesta Francorum Ierusalem expugnantium

The Gesta Francorum Ierusalem expugnantium adds a new voice to the half-dozen contemporaries who chronicled the First Crusade (1095) and the very few who continued the story after 1099. The Latin text is accompanied by an accurate and lively English translation, the first into any modern language, with a full introduction and historical notes.

Forming Aristocracy

The deeds and misdeeds of aristocrats, past and present, never lose their appeal, whether on screen or in real life. But who are they, and why do they matter? This ground-breaking book explores the origins and development of early-modern elites, revealing the similarities between the organization and behaviour of leading families all over Europe.
