  Bristol is the city that John Cabot sailed from and Thomas Chatterton dreamed, that Hugh Latimer preached to and Oliver Cromwell seized. This book looks at Bristol's connection with the rise of the Atlantic economy in the early modern period and the accompanying transformation of English economic ideas and practices.
