TY - GEN T1 - Englishmen at sea : labor and the nation at the dawn of empire, 1570-1630 A1 - Hubbard, Eleanor (Eleanor Kathryn) LA - English PP - New Haven PB - Yale University Press YR - 2021 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/jstor_eba_on1273979868 AB - "Drawing on a wealth of understudied sources, historian Eleanor Hubbard explores the labor conflicts behind the rise of the English maritime empire. Freewheeling Elizabethan privateering attracted thousands of young men to the sea, where they acquired valuable skills and a reputation for ruthlessness. Peace in 1603 forced these predatory seamen to adapt to a radically changed world, one in which they were expected to risk their lives for merchants' gain, not plunder. Merchant trading companies expected sailors to relinquish their unruly ways and to help convince overseas rulers and trading partners that the English were a courteous and trustworthy "nation." Some sailors rebelled, becoming pirates and renegades; others demanded and often received concessions and shares in new trading opportunities. Treated gently by a state that was anxious to promote seafaring in order to man the navy, these determined sailors helped to keep the sea a viable and attractive trade for Englishmen." -- OP - 349 CN - DA16 .H79 2021eb SN - 9780300262551 SN - 0300262558 SN - 9780300246124 KW - Great Britain : Colonies : Commerce : 16th century.
