Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of a little-known chapter in English colonial history: the Providence Company, a group of adventurers who attempted to establish a Puritan settlement on the islands of Providence, Henrietta, and Association in the Caribbean during the first half of the 17th century. The author examines the companyââ â¢s origins, its attempts to create a utopian society, and its eventual transformation into a base for privateering against the Spanish. The book reveals that the Providence Company was not simply a colonial enterprise, but an important component of the larger political and religious struggles unfolding in England at the time. The author demonstrates that the companyââ â¢s members, who included prominent Puritan leaders such as John Pym and the Earl of Warwick, used their colonial ventures as a platform to oppose the policies of King Charles I and to advance their own vision of a more just and equitable society. The book highlights the complex interplay of religion, politics, and economics in shaping the course of English colonial expansion and offers a fascinating perspective on the evolution of English Puritanism. This book provides valuable insights into a forgotten chapter in English history, illuminating the connections between Puritan ideals, the rise of parliamentary opposition to royal authority, and the early stages of England's colonial empire in the Caribbean.
