The Jamestown Project

This is more about the broth that flavoured it rather than the actual dumpling. And what an interesting broth it was. I like the way she put this together. Clear writing. This took me ages to read because I didn't want to be finished.

Despite the title, Kupperman's book focuses on much more than simply the settlement at Jamestown. Arguable it's two books in one: the first six chapters focus on English reasons for and experiences in colonization (compared to their European counterparts) while the last chapters give an account of English colonization of Jamestown. Extensively researched and with many interesting examples of early English exploration, the book can be enjoyable and informative when viewed in duality.
