Opis

With its focus on early modern emissaries and their role in England's expansionary ventures and cross-cultural encounters across the globe, this collection takes up the literary and cultural productions and representations of ambassadors, factors, traders, translators, spies, middlemen, merchants, missionaries, and other agents, who served as complex conduits for the global transport of goods, religious ideologies, and socio-cultural practices throughout the early modern period.
