“Jordan Landes’s London Quakers in the Trans-Atlantic World: the creation of an early modern community provides essential background for any historian initiating research on seventeenth-century Quakerism. In thoroughly researched and detailed thematic chapters, Landes provides overviews of the Quakers’ institutional structures, communications networks, approach to politics and commerce, their book trade, migration patterns across the Atlantic and their perception of imperial expansion.” (Geoffrey Plank, Quaker Studies, Vol. 21 (1), 2016)
