In The Scottish Enlightenment Abroad, Janet Starkey examines the
lives and works of Scots working in the mid eighteenth century with
the Levant Company in Aleppo, then within the Ottoman Empire; and
those working with the East India Company in India, especially in
the fields of natural history, medicine, ethnography and the
collection of Arabic and Persian manuscripts. The focus is on
brothers from Edinburgh: Alexander Russell MD FRS, Patrick Russell
MD FRS, Claud Russell and William Russell FRS. By examining a wide
range of modern interpretations, Starkey argues that the Scottish
Enlightenment was not just a philosophical discourse but a
multi-faceted cultural revolution that owed its vibrancy to ties of
kinship, and to strong commercial and intellectual links with
Europe and further abroad.
