Inventing Exoticism

Geography, Globalism, and Europe's Early Modern World

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Lavishly illustrated and impressively interdisciplinary, Inventing Exoticism narrates a vital chapter in the history of European exoticism and Europe's perception of its place in the world. It traces the production and consumption of early modern exotic imagery to elucidate processes of cultural mediation in an earlier age of empire.
