书目名称 | Hybrid Knowledge in the Early East India Company World | 编辑 | Anna Winterbottom | 视频video | | 丛书名称 | Cambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | .Hybrid Knowledge in the Early East India Company World presents a new interpretation of the development of the English East India Company between 1660 and 1720. The book explores the connections between scholarship, patronage, diplomacy, trade, and colonial settlement in the early modern world. Links of patronage between cosmopolitan writers and collectors and scholars associated with the Royal Society of London and the universities are investigated. Winterbottom shows how innovative works of scholarship – covering natural history, ethnography, theology, linguistics, medicine, and agriculture - were created amid multi-directional struggles for supremacy in Asia, the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic. The role of non-elite actors including slaves in transferring knowledge and skills between settlements is explored in detail. . | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | 关键词 | East India Company; early modern; colonial history; imperial history; global history; British Empire; hist | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/9781137380203 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-38020-3Series ISSN 2635-1633 Series E-ISSN 2635-1641 | issn_series | 2635-1633 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2016 |
