Exploration and Exchange: A South Seas Anthology, 1680-1900 Paperback - 2001 - 1st Edition
by Jonathan Lamb (Editor); Vanessa Smith (Editor); Nicholas Thomas (Editor)
First line
The period extending from 1680 to 1800 saw successful challenges by the British and French to Dutch control of the Indian Ocean trade routes and to Spanish predominance in the Pacific.
From the rear cover
European encounters with Pacific peoples often proved as wrenching to the Europeans as to the natives. This anthology gathers some of the most vivid accounts of these cultural exchanges for the first time, placing the works of well-known figures such as Captain James Cook and Robert Louis Stevenson alongside the writings of lesser-known explorers, missionaries, beachcombers, and literary travelers who roamed the South Seas from the late seventeenth through the late nineteenth centuries. Through their detailed commentary on each piece and their choice of selections, the editors emphasize the mutuality of impact of these colonial encounters and the continuity of Pacific cultures that still have the power to transform visitors today.
