This paper will seek to develop a position, on the history of the Atlantic Archipelago in early modern times, which I originally took up in articles published nineteen and eleven years ago. 1 Since those times a good deal has happened, and we have all gone on thinking about what is no longer ‘the unknown subject’ — though it would not be true to say that we have a governing paradigm for treating it. In developing these earlier positions, I wish to select, however tendentiously, a few positions away from which I think there has been some movement, and see if I can employ that pattern in an attempt to define where we are now.
