Cosmopolitanism and the Enlightenment
As we face new global challenges – from climate change to the international political order – the need to re-examine the historical roots of cosmopolitanism and liberal principles on a global scale has become increasingly central to the political conversation. Cosmopolitanism and the Enlightenment brings together leading scholars in cultural history, the history of ideas and global politics in order to reassess the complexity of cosmopolitanism d…
The Art of Travel (1500-1850) database
Présentation de la base de données réalisée à l’Université de Galway sur l’art de voyager entre 1500 et 1850. (http://artoftravel.nuigalway.ie) The emergence in the early modern period of an extensive body of advice on the art of travel (the Ars apodemica) – produced across a range of genres – represents a remarkable historical effort to shape a disparate practice. Despite the impressive volume of contributions to this wide discursive field (incl…
Swift, Gulliver, and Travel Satire
Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels (1726) stands in a long tradition of travel satire that emerged in the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries. Travel and the travel book represent essential, constitutive elements of the story, serving as vehicle as well as subject matter for satirical treatment. Swift draws on established attacks on the traveller’s identity and how it becomes dislocated in travel, and the accusation of lying often levelled a…
The problem of credibility in early modern travel
The problem of establishing and evaluating the credibility of travel narratives remained endemic in the early modern period, both for authors of accounts and their readers. Writers of ‘authentic’ reports needed to secure and defend their reliability in the face of doubts that they enjoyed a license to ‘lie by authority’ as a familiar proverb held. This essay investigates the strategies they employed for doing so, and the position of readers relyi…
The Jacobean Grand Tour
John Locke, Edward Stillingfleet and the Quarrel over Consensus
Philosophical antagonism and dispute — by no means confined to the early modern period — nonetheless enjoyed a moment of particular ferment as new methods and orientations on questions of epistemology and ethics developed in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. John Locke played a key part in them with controversies initiated by the Essay concerning Human Understanding (1690). This essay develops a wider typology of modes of philosophical qu…

The Problem of Sati
John Locke’s philosophical engagement with the phenomenon of the ritual suicide of the sati—the Hindu wife who self-immolated following her husband’s death—has escaped attention from scholars despite substantial critical interest in early modern European reflection on this cultural and religious tradition by travelers and commentators. Locke cited the practice in early manuscripts in which he formulated his position on natural law and innateness.…

The Isle of Pines, 1668
Spenser, Purchas, and the Poetics of Colonial Settlement
In a provocative essay contributed to the first volume of The Oxford History of the British Empire , David Armitage questioned a well-established account of the relationship between literature and empire in the early modern period. According to this view, English literature in the later sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries emerges as a consequence of empire, both dependent upon and essentially supportive of the efforts of exploration and set…

Hakluyt's instructions
The range of information sought in travel instructions printed by Richard Hakluyt was impressive, geared around the interests of trading companies, merchants, exploration and colonial settlement. They constitute a third genre of travel advice in the sixteenth century, together with Humanist contributions to the art of travel (the ars apodemica) and the Spanish questionnaires developed in the 1570s to administer their empire.

Locke's Anthropology
Previous accounts of Locke's ethnographic perspective on human custom have commonly focused on what might be called his political anthropology, above all in the Second Treatise and Locke's view of the state of nature. His discussion of the origins of government, the function of money in transforming political relations, and the role of property led him to comment suggestively on historical instances of Amerindian practice derived from his reading…

Anthropology's inheritance
This article argues that anthropology inherited a series of contradictory imperatives from its origin as a form of travel. The point is made by studying the relationship between the metadiscourse on travel in the early modern period and the metadiscourse of classic anthropology in the twentieth century. Early commentators worried about the effect of travel on identity and argued that extended journeys resulted in a disaffiliation from inherited v…
Compiling nature's history
The relationship between travel, travel narrative, and the enterprise of natural history is explored, focusing on activities associated with the early Royal Society. In an era of expanding travel, for colonial, diplomatic, trade, and missionary purposes, reports of nature's effects proliferated, both in oral and written forms. Naturalists intent on compiling a comprehensive history of such phenomena, and making them useful in the process, readily…
