Reviews

Rich and rewarding. —The Royal Gazette Isle of Devils, Isle of Saints is an incredibly rich book that, despite its length, is accessible and engaging throughout. Jarvis has an unparalleled command of Bermuda's historiography, archival and printed sources, and archaeological research (including his own) that lets him offer readers an account of Bermuda's seventeenth-century history that seems to cover every event or incident, no matter how small, without feeling overwhelming. —Journal of British Studies
