Sweden in the Eighteenth-Century World - Provincial Cosmopolitans (Hardcover, New Ed)

Eighteenth-century Sweden was deeply involved in the process of
globalisation: ships leaving Sweden's central ports exported bar
iron that would drive the Industrial Revolution, whilst arriving
ships would bring not only exotic goods and commodities to Swedish
consumers, but also new ideas and cultural practices with them. At
the same time, Sweden was an agricultural country to a large extent
governed by self-subsistence, and - for most - wealth was created
within this structure. This volume brings together a group of
scholars from a range of disciplinary backgrounds who seek to
present a more nuanced and elaborated picture of the Swedish
cosmopolitan eighteenth century. Together they paint a picture of
Sweden that is more like the one eighteenth-century intellectuals
imagined, and help to situate Sweden in histories of
cosmopolitanism of the wider world.
