Global Perspectives in Modern Italian Culture presents a series of
unexplored case studies from the sixteenth to the twentieth
century, each demonstrating how travellers, scientists, Catholic
missionaries, scholars and diplomats coming from the Italian
peninsula contributed to understandings of various global issues
during the age of early globalization. It also examines how these
individuals represented different parts of the world to an Italian
audience, and how deeply Italian culture drew inspiration from the
increasing knowledge of world 'Otherness'. The first part of the
book focuses on the production of knowledge, drawing on texts
written by philosophers, scientists, historians and numerous other
first-hand eyewitnesses. The second part analyses the dissemination
and popularization of knowledge by focussing on previously
understudied published works and initiatives aimed at learned
Italian readers and the general public. Written in a lively and
engaging manner, this book will appeal to scholars and students of
early modern and modern European history, as well as those
interested in global history.
