In 1747, the city of Kerman in Persia burned amidst chaos,
destruction and death perpetrated by the city’s own overlord,
Nader Shah. After the violent overthrow of the Safavid dynasty in
1722 and subsequent foreign invasions from all sides, Persia had
been in constant turmoil. One well-appointed house that belonged to
the East India Company had been saved from destruction by the
ingenuity of a Company servant, Danvers Graves, and his knowledge
of the Company’s privileges in Persia. This book explores the
lived experience of the Company and its trade in Persia and how it
interacted with power structures and the local environment in a
time of great upheaval in Persian history. Using East India Company
records and other sources, it charts the role of the Navy and
commercial fleet in the Gulf, trade agreements, and the experience
of Company staff, British and non-British living in and navigating
conditions in 18th-century Persia. By examining the social,
commercial and diplomatic history of this relationship, this book
creates a new paradigm for the study of Early Modern interactions
in the Indian Ocean.
