By bringing together representations of the then already familiar Ottoman Empire and the largely unknown South Pacific, the author adopts a uniquely global perspective and demonstrates how cross-cultural encounters were framed by Enlightenment philosophy, global interconnections, and even-handed exchanges across cultural divides. In so doing, this book shows that both travel and travel-writing from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries were much more complex and multi-layered than reductive Eurocentric histories often suggest. %C DEU %C Bielefeld %G en %9 Dissertation %W GESIS - http://www.gesis.org %~ SSOAR - http://www.ssoar.info
