| Zusammenfassung: | 1: Introduction: 'A formidable undertaking': Travellers' tales, Atlantic voyages, and the route to the East2: Embarking: 'An inhabitant of another world': Shipboard spaces and daily life3: Voyaging: 'My time hangs rather heavy on my hands': Passing the time, marking the passage4: Observing: 'The wonders of the boundless ocean': Sea, sky, and the living world5: Stopping: 'The salutary effects of the shore': Landfall, islands, and going ashore6: Conclusion: Beyond the Cape "A history of the East India Company told through experiences of everyday life on the ocean: maritime travel, shipboard conditions, foreign encounters, islands and ports of call, the waters of the Atlantic itself. McAleer portrays these as essential to the understanding of the Company as an agent of globalisation in the early modern world." |
