Пълно описание

The Atlantic did more than connect continents. It reorganized English society from its docks outward. As overseas trade expanded during the Tudor era, traditional feudal influence faced growing pressure from merchants whose fortunes depended not on inherited land, but on ships, contracts, and oceanic risk.Focusing on England's major port cities, this book examines how trans-Atlantic commerce reshaped urban life and political authority. Tobacco, sugar, and American silver generated new markets that reached from crowded waterfront districts to aristocratic households. Merchant investors gained social leverage previously reserved for hereditary elites, accelerating the decline of older feudal structures tied to agricultural wealth.The expansion of overseas enterprise also demanded new forms of maritime regulation. Royal charters granted commercial monopolies while legitimizing aggressive privateering against foreign rivals. Admiralty courts and naval policy evolved alongside imperial competition, creating legal frameworks that often merged trade with coercion. The boundary between licensed commerce and organized violence remained deliberately unstable.Seen through law, labor, and urban growth, Tudor Britain appears not as an isolated kingdom but as a society being remade by Atlantic circulation and the ambitions it unleashed.
