In this authoritative study, first published in 1981, Geoffrey
Scammell traces the course of European expansion between around 800
and 1650, during which time the world known to western Europeans
was enlarged in a way unparalleled before or since. The book takes
a broad historical perspective, linking the classic age of European
expansion to its medieval antecedents. The Norse reached North
America in the tenth century, Italian missionaries and traders were
established in China in the high Middle Ages, and during the
fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, in some of the greatest voyages
ever made under sail, Iberian explorers crossed the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans, and established footholds in the Americas, Africa
and Asia. This is a stimulating and perceptive study, based on
wide-ranging research, which makes an invaluable contribution to
our understanding of the influence of empire on both colonial and
metropolitan societies.
