- Based on detailed archival research carried out over many years and in a wide variety of libraries and repositories, this monograph (c.120,000 words; 290 pp.) draws together places and historiographies not usually studied in conjunction with each other. In doing so, it explores wide-ranging questions about the geographical and conceptual boundaries of Britain’s Indian Ocean World. The extensive corpus of archival evidence analysed in the book provides new perspectives on Britain’s empire and the East India Company. By foregrounding oceanic approaches in the writing of imperial histories, the monograph contributes to new directions in imperial, oceanic and maritime history.
