Notes

1. This essay was co-edited by Matthew CitationCrawford and Kelly Wisecup. The editors of Atlantic Studies thank them for their hard work in bringing this piece to fruition. Please note that neither the International Seminar on the History of the Atlantic World, 1500–1825, at Harvard University, nor its financial sponsor, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, has any official connection with this collective essay. Rather, this seminar review reflects the spontaneous desire of the participants listed here to share some of the many ideas that were generated during their meeting. Participants of the Seminar wish to acknowledge Professor Bernard Bailyn for his insightful comments and critiques of the papers in the Seminar, and also for his invitation to participate. The collective reflections on the seminar would not have been possible without his assistance. Additionally, Professors Matthew Crawford and Kelly Wisecup wish to thank Lina Del Castillo, Anya Zilberstein, Ryan Kashanipour, and Bertie Mandelblatt for their editorial assistance in later drafts of the review essay and Melissa Grafe for lending her technological expertise to the project.
