Abstract
Despite the common imagination of the early modern Atlantic World as centered in the British-dominated North Atlantic, a broader perspective reveals that there is in fact another Atlantic World which is both larger and older than the English version, and whose general history responds to global but not necessarily European currents of history. Locating that "other" Atlantic World requires that we rethink its spatial and temporal dimensions.
