Francis I's ties with the Ottoman Empire marked the birth of
court-sponsored Orientalism in France. Under Louis XIV, French
society was transformed by cross-cultural contacts with the
Ottomans, India, Persia, China, Siam and the Americas. The
consumption of silk, cotton cloth, spices, coffee, tea, china,
gems, flowers and other luxury goods transformed daily life and
gave rise to a new discourse about the 'Orient' which in turn
shaped ideas about economy and politics, specifically absolutism
and the monarchy. An original account of the ancient regime,
this book highlights France's use of the exotic and analyzes French
discourse about Islam and the 'Orient'.
