Americanists, can you recommend a standard history of the early Virginia colony? I'm seeking context as I begin work on an edition of a novel partially set there, and while I can certainly gather a list of texts, I'd love to know what consider to be a solid place to start. Thanks!

@shandyist @histodons For my own basic understanding, I've relied on James Horn's book, 1619: Jamestown and the Forging of American Democracy.

For teaching, the anthology The English Literatures of America: 1500-1800, eds. Myra Jehlen & Michael Warner.

@shandyist @histodons (but of course, I'm coming at it from an English lit person and not as an Americanist! So take my recs with that in mind!)

kinda dig this use of Marvell and the sentiment that historians should be mowers (though I was expecting a taxation comment, to be honest)
