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.
