Exploring a wide range of topics, "Early Modern Virginia: Reconsidering the Old 
Dominion" is a collection of essays on 17th-century Virginia. The essays, the 
first such collection in 25 years, touch on numerous aspects of the lived and 
imagined experience of the early American world: from religion to government, 
trade to imperialism, slavery to Native American society, architecture to the 
sexual politics of the household. The book offers a fresh look at the early 
religious, political, economic, social, and intellectual life of the colony.

Come to the Library of Virginia and join editors and historians John C. Coombs 
and Douglas Bradburn in a fascinating panel discussion moderated by Brent 
Tarter (founding editor of the "Dictionary of Virginia Biography" at the Library 
of Virginia).
