| Zusammenfassung: | Before the future of North American rule was decided by the battle between British and French forces on the Plains of Abraham, Britain's emerging imperial interests were represented by ambitious merchants and privateers. A Fleeting Empire examines the lives and exploits of early European adventurers in North America, revealing the murky mix of self-interest, patriotism, and adventure that motivated them. The union of the English and Scottish crowns in 1603 gave rise to a new British seafaring community, which the early Stuart monarchy used to pursue some of the first commercial and colonial ventures in North America. Among those who sailed across the Atlantic were the Kirke brothers, who in 1629 forced Samuel de Champlain's surrender of Quebec, Sir William Alexander of Menstrie, a rising political figure and patentee of Nova Scotia, and James Stewart of Killeith, leader of a colony on Cape Breton Island. King Charles I was more concerned with brokering a peace with France than looking to the new world, so the gains of the merchant adventurers were short-lived, but their adventures provide a tantalizing glimpse of a moment of British colonial control, suggesting what might have been. Andrew Nicholls showcases the enterprises of knights and privateers alike, providing a fascinating account of early European colonies, commerce, and military force in North America. A Fleeting Empire forces us to see the early histories of Canada and the United States in a new light. |

A Fleeting Empire examines the lives and exploits of early European adventurers in North America, revealing the murky mix of self-interest, patriotism, and adventure that motivated them. The union of the English and Scottish crowns in 1603 gave rise to a new British seafaring community, which the early Stuart monarchy used to pursue some of the first commercial and colonial ventures in North America. Among those who sailed across the Atlantic were the Kirke brothers, who in 1629 forced Samuel de Champlain's surrender of Quebec, Sir William Alexander of Menstrie, a rising political figure and patentee of Nova Scotia, and James Stewart of Killeith, leader of a colony on Cape Breton Island. King Charles I was more concerned with brokering a peace with France than looking to the new world, so the gains of the merchant adventurers were short-lived, but their adventures provide a tantalizing glimpse of a moment of British colonial control, suggesting what might have been. Andrew Nicholls showcases the enterprises of knights and privateers alike, providing a fascinating account of early European colonies, commerce, and military force in North America. A Fleeting Empire forces us to see the early histories of Canada and the United States in a new light.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Canada</subfield><subfield code="x">Discovery and exploration</subfield><subfield code="x">British.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Great Britain</subfield><subfield code="x">Politics and government</subfield><subfield code="y">1603-1649.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85056890</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="5"><subfield code="a">Kirke's Expedition, 1627-1629.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="5"><subfield code="a">Québec (Québec)</subfield><subfield code="x">History</subfield><subfield code="y">Capture, 1629.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="5"><subfield code="a">Canada</subfield><subfield code="x">History</subfield><subfield code="y">To 1663 (New France)</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Expédition des Kirke, Québec, 1627-1629.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Québec (Québec)</subfield><subfield code="x">Prise, 1629.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Canada</subfield><subfield code="x">Découverte et exploration britanniques.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Grande-Bretagne</subfield><subfield code="x">Politique et gouvernement</subfield><subfield code="y">1603-1649.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Canada</subfield><subfield code="x">Histoire</subfield><subfield code="y">Jusqu'à 1663 (Nouvelle-France)</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">HISTORY</subfield><subfield code="z">Canada</subfield><subfield code="x">Pre-Confederation (to 1867)</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">HISTORY</subfield><subfield code="x">General.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Discoveries in geography</subfield><subfield code="x">British</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Politics and government</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Canada</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJkMHVW4rfVXPrhVP4VwG3</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Great Britain</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJdmp7p3cx8hpmJ8HvmTpP</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="1" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Engelsen.</subfield><subfield code="2">gtt</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Canada.</subfield><subfield code="2">gtt</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="648" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">1603-1649</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">JSTOR-DDA</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Kirke' s Expedition, 1627-1629</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Québec (Quebec)</subfield><subfield code="a">History</subfield><subfield code="a">Capture, 1629</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Canada</subfield><subfield code="a">Discovery and exploration</subfield><subfield code="a">British</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Great Britain</subfield><subfield code="a">Politics and government</subfield><subfield code="a">1603- 1649</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Canada</subfield><subfield code="a">History</subfield><subfield code="a">To 1663 (New France)</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Multi-User.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="758" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="i">has work:</subfield><subfield code="a">A fleeting empire (Text)</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCGPyhtxYtByKqQRWwR4M8y</subfield><subfield code="4">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="a">Nicholls, Andrew D., 1965-</subfield><subfield code="t">Fleeting empire.</subfield><subfield code="d">Montréal ;
