Views from the Edge
These essays were written by colleagues and former students of Richard Bulliet, the preeminent Middle East scholar whose "most important contribution remains his extraordinary imagination in the service of history." The hallmark of the book, then, is innovative scholarship in all periods of Islamic history. Its authors share a commitment to asking original historiographical questions, with an overall orientation toward issues in social history.
Indo-French Relations
The Portuguese, The Dutch, The English And The Danes Came To India Primarily For Trade And Commerce. Thogh The French Initially Showed Some Interest In Oriental Trade And Tried To Challenge The Portuguese Claims Based On Papal Bulls, They Could Not Continue To Insist On Their Rights On Account Of Their Involvement In Problems At Home. Moreover, They Found Better Avenues Fore Trade In The Western Hemisphere, That Is, Canada. Indo-French Contacts Began To Be Established Initially Through Overseas Trade In The Second Half Of The Seventeenth Century With Imports Of Precious Metals Into India By The French East India Company And Through Exports Of Spices And Textiles From India To France. In Due Course, These Relations Began To Be Diversified And Came To Cover Local Politics, Society, Defence, Diplomacy And Culture. The Present Work Highlights Some Of The Aspects Of These Interactions.
Le roman de Perceforest
Immense composition anonyme en prose, le roman de Perceforest est une des plus belles reussites litteraires de la fin du Moyen Age. En une grandiose fresque divisee en six parties, il evoque les aventures des lointains ancetres dArthur et des chevaliers de la Table Ronde. Dans ce volume, limagination exuberante du romancier ne connait pas de relache. Perceforest sombre dans une longue prostration et Gadiffer est rendu infirme pour le reste de ses jours. Zephir, le lutin malicieux, se divertit aux depens dEstonne. Il le fait assister a une etonnante scene de sabbat dont les protagonistes sont de vieilles sorcieres barbues. Peleon, le chevalier malheureux prive de raison, retrouve enfin son amie Dache et Lyonnel multiplie les exploits pour se rendre digne de lamour de Blanche. Apres la publication de la Quatrieme partie et de la Troisieme partie, Gilles Roussineau poursuit ledition de loeuvre. Le texte est assorti dun important choix de variantes, de nombreuses notes et dun glossaire developpe.
Pondicherry, Tamil Nadu and South India under French Rule
This is a study of the colonization of Pondicherry, Tamil Nadu and South India by the French during the eighteenth century, and their interactions with the Indian rulers and populations in the political, economic, social and religious spheres. French Governors based in Pondicherry since François Martin up to Dupleix never acquired any territory for France through outright conquest. They or their masters in France never had any grand plan to establish a French empire in India. Some Indian rulers were friendly with the French and the English as it served their interests. The study demonstrates that the French colonizers and missionaries would not have survived in India without the collaborati...

Capitalisms
Conventional accounts often conceive the genesis of capitalism in Europe within the conjunctures of agricultural, commercial, and industrial revolutions. Challenging this widely believed cliché, this volume traces the history of capitalism across civilizations, tenth century onwards, and argues that capitalism was neither a monolithic entity nor exclusively an economic phenomenon confined to the West. Looking at regions as diverse as England, South America, Russia, North Africa, and East, South, West, and Southeast Asia, the book explores the plurality of developments across time and space. The chapters analyse aspects such as historical conjunctures, commodity production and distribution, circulation of knowledge and personnel, and the role of mercantile capital, small producers, and force—all the while stressing the necessity to think beyond present-day national boundaries. The book argues that the multiple histories of capitalism can be better understood from a trans-regional, intercontinental, and interconnected perspective.
