Trade and Cultural Exchange in the Early Modern Mediterranean: Braudel's Maritime Legacy - Paperback

by Maria Fusaro (Editor), Colin Heywood (Editor), Mohamed-Salah Omri (Editor)

"The Mediterranean and the Mediterranean World in the Age of Philip II" by Fernand Braudel revolutionised the study of Mediterranean history on its publication in 1949. Now, 60 years 'after Braudel', this book brings together work by area specialists and the latest research on the sea itself in the early modern period, the maritime trade that flourished there, the ships which travelled it and the men who sailed them. It opens up the subject to English-speaking readers interested in maritime history, naval history, the history of the early modern world and the historiographical legacy of Braudel.
