Bibliography
The only major work on Oglethorpe published in Britain is “James Edward Oglethorpe, imperial idealist” by Amos Aschbach Ettinger (OUP 1936). Although slightly out of date this is still the most comprehensive story of his life and times published on either side of the Atlantic. It is particularly strong on references to original sources.
The following is a very brief selection of works recently published in the USA:-
