In their rise to prominence in the early to mid-seventeenth century, certain principles of the common law—including the use of precedent and the law's responsiveness to changing human needs—helped alter many aspects of the law, including the law of jurisdiction, which was of particular relevance to banishment. Indeed, as a result of a proliferation of jurisdictions and a growing uncertainty about the legal boundaries between them, banishment, the essay argues, in the form of a previously unrecognized kind of narrative—what I will call the banishment narrative—came to prominence as an entirely new way of figuring who the early modern, and in particular the white English, colonist really was. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Essay src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Early American Studies, An Interdisciplinary Journal is the property of University of Pennsylvania Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
