St. Peter Port and the story of Guernsey in the eighteenth century have received little attention from historians. In this new study Stevens Cox employs the analytic techniques of urban history to shed light on the economy and society of the town. He evaluates the relative significance of trade and privateering in the generation of mercantile wealth. As their prosperity grew, the merchants turned increasingly towards England in the pursuit of fashion. This is more than just a local study, as St. Peter Port is shown to have played an important role as an entrepot in the Atlantic economy.
