When European explorers went out into the world to open up trade
routes and establish colonies, they brought back much more than
silks and spices, cotton and tea. Inevitably, they came into
contact with the peoples of other parts of the world and formed
views of them occasionally admiring, more often hostile or
contemptuous. Using a stunning array of sources - missionaries'
memoirs, the letters of diplomats' wives, explorers' diaries and
the work of writers as diverse as Voltaire, Thackeray, Oliver
Goldsmith and, of course, Kipling - Victor Kiernan teases out the
full range of European attitudes to other peoples. Erudite, ironic
and global in its scope, The Lords of Human Kind has been a major
influence on a generation of historians and cultural critics and is
a landmark in the history of Eurocentrism.
