Recent scholarship has shown the importance of overseas settlement, colonies, and empire in the history of early modern British political thought. While most of this work has focused on the Atlantic world, this seminar is offered by the Center for the History of British Political Thought to explore the intellectual history of early modern British encounters with South Asia. The course will be structured by two inter-related themes: first, how the English East India Company figured as both a political and commercial project from its inception to the growth of a “British Indian Empire” in the late eighteenth century; and second, how Britons thought about the varied polities of early modern South Asia, in particular the vast empire of the Mughals. Meets Friday afternoons 25 September through 4 December 2009. Apply: 5 June 2009 for admission and grants-in-aid; 4 September 2009 for admission only.
