Series Statement:
Studies in comparative early modern history
Content:
European dominance of the shipping lanes in the early modern period was a prelude to the great age of European imperial power in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Yet in the present age we can see that the pre-imperial age was in fact more an 'age of partnership' or an 'age of competition' when the West and Asia vied on even terms. The essays in this volume examine, on a global basis, the many different trading empires from the end of the Middle Ages to the eighteenth century.
Note:
Essays originally prepared for distribution and discussion at a conference sponsored by the Center for Early Modern History at the University of Minnesota in Oct. 1987.
