About this book

Goods from the East focuses on the fine product trade's first Global Age: how products were made, marketed and distributed between Asia and Europe between 1600 and 1800. It brings together established scholars as well as new, to provide a full comparative and connective study of this trade.

Reviews

“It documents an important and laudable scholarly effort to up-date, advance and channel historical research on the impact of maritime trade and exchange between Europe and Asia in the early modern period in new and exciting directions … . It is a generally successful collective work and should be welcomed and engaged with. … Goods from the East does succeed in updating, advancing and channeling our historical research on those topics.” (George Bryan Souza, International Journal of Maritime History, Vol. 28 (3), August, 2016)
