‘Those interested in aboriginal, American, Atlantic, British, Canadian, Caribbean, imperial, revolutionary, and transnational history will benefit from this well-designed and thoughtful collection.’- Greg Brooking (Journal of Southern History, vol 79: November 2013) ‘Jerry Bannister and Liam Riordan should be proud of this edited volume. With this book they have greatly expanded historian’s knowledge of both loyalism and historiographical boundaries of loyalist studies.’ - Aaron N. Colman (The Historian, vol 76:02:2014) ‘Jerry Bannister and Liam Riordan should be proud of this edited volume….The editors wanted their volume to reflect how “loyalism fundamentally shaped the British Atlantic world”. They have achieved their goal with resounding success. The Loyal Atlantic should open historiographical pathways previously unimagined.’- Aaron N. Coleman (The Historian vol 76:02:2014) ‘An excellent collection on the Loyalist Atlantic.’ - Jeremy Black (Eighteenth-Century Studies vol 48:01:204) ‘This book wonderfully captures the complex and contested nature of British Atlantic loyalism in the Age of Revolution…An invaluable collection of essays.’- Brad A. Jones (The English Historical Review December 7, 2014)
