Summary "England in America, 1580-1652" by Lyon Gardiner Tyler is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work chronicles the early attempts and eventual establishment of English colonies in America, focusing on the significant events and figures contributing to the colonization from the late 16th century to the mid-17th century. It provides an exploration of influential personalities like Sir Walter Raleigh and their pursuits, as well as the difficulties faced by settlers. The opening of the book presents a detailed context for English colonization, emphasizing the rivalry with Spain and painting a picture of the political, religious, and economic climate in England that fueled the desire for new territories. Tyler discusses the numerous failed attempts at establishing colonies, particularly those by Sir Humphrey Gilbert and Sir Walter Raleigh, illustrating the motivations behind these efforts, such as competition for wealth and resources. The text positions these early efforts against the backdrop of shifting societal conditions in both England and America, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of the successful founding of Virginia and other colonies.
