The long eighteenth century was a period of major transformation
for Europe and India as imperialism heralded a new global order.
Eschewing the reductive perspectives of nation-state histories and
postcolonial 'east vs west' oppositions, contributors to India and
Europe in the global eighteenth century put forward a more nuanced
and interdisciplinary analysis. Using eastern as well as western
sources, authors present fresh insights into European and Indian
relations and highlight: how anxieties over war and piracy shaped
commercial activity; how French, British and Persian histories of
India reveal the different geo-political issues at stake; the
material legacy of India in European cultural life; how novels
parodied popular views of the Orient and provided
counter-narratives to images of India as the site of corruption;
how social transformations, traditionally characterised as 'Mughal
decline', in effect forged new global connections that informed
political culture into the nineteenth century.
