Description

Explore the historical connections between France and the East in Orientalism in Early Modern France: Eurasian Trade, Exoticism, and the Ancien Regime. This work by Berg Publishers examines how the ties between Francis I and the Ottoman Empire initiated court-sponsored Orientalism in France. Follow the transformation of French society under Louis XIV through cross-cultural contacts with the Ottomans, India, Persia, China, Siam, and the Americas. The book details how the consumption of luxury goods like silk, cotton cloth, spices, coffee, tea, china, gems, and flowers changed daily life and created new ways of thinking about the Orient. This study examines how these global exchanges shaped ideas regarding science, economy, and politics. It provides a unique look at the Ancien Regime and how the rise of global trade and exoticism influenced the political landscape and ideas regarding absolutist monarchy. A must-read for those interested in business and economic history.
