Description
Discover how cross-cultural commerce transformed early modern France in this scholarly examination of Eurasian trade and cultural exchange. Beginning with Francis I's diplomatic ties to the Ottoman Empire, this book traces the court-sponsored Orientalism that flourished under Louis XIV, when French society encountered new goods, ideas and peoples from the Ottomans, India, Persia, China, Siam and the Americas. Silk, spices, coffee, tea, porcelain and gemstones became markers of wealth and taste, reshaping daily life and consumption patterns across French society. More than a history of luxury goods, this work explores how contact with distant cultures generated new intellectual discourse about the Orient, influencing French thought on science, economics and political philosophy, ultimately challenging absolutist monarchy itself. Published by Berg Publishers, this original account reveals the Ancien Regime's complex relationship with exoticism and global commerce.
