Description
Courting India England: A Groundbreaking History of the British Arrival in India
In 1616, Thomas Roe arrived in India as James I's first ambassador to the Mughal Empire, marking the beginning of a pivotal period in British history. This book offers a fascinating glimpse of the origins of the British Empire, drawing on the author's masterful research to recreate the complex web of relationships between the English and the Mughals.
As Roe navigated the court of the wealthy and cultured Mughal Empire, he represented a kingdom struggling to define its identity under the Stuart monarchy. Meanwhile, the Mughals were a dominant force, with a dominion widely considered one of the greatest and richest empires of the world. This book provides an insider's view of a Britain in the making, a country whose imperial seeds were just being sown.
