A unique overview of Portuguese oceanic expansion between 1400 and
1800, the essays in this volume treat a wide range of subjects -
economy and society, politics and institutions, cultural
configurations and comparative dimensions - and radically update
data and interpretations on the economic and financial trends of
the Portuguese Empire. Interregional networks are analysed in a
substantial way. Patterns of settlement, political configurations,
ecclesiastical structures, and local powers are put in global
context. Language and literature, the arts, and science and
technology are revisited with refreshing and innovative approaches.
The interaction between Portuguese and local people is studied in
different contexts, while the entire imperial and colonial culture
of the Portuguese world is looked at synthetically for the first
time. In short, this book provides a broad understanding of the
Portuguese Empire in its first four centuries as a factor in world
history and as a major component of European expansion.
