Description
The Embassy of Sir Thomas Roe to the Court of the Great Mogul is a comprehensive two-volume historical record of one of the most significant early diplomatic missions between England and the Mughal Empire. William Foster’s scholarly edition preserves Sir Thomas Roe’s detailed journal and correspondence spanning 1615-1619, a critical period in establishing English commercial and political interests in India.
Through Roe’s meticulous observations, readers gain unprecedented insight into the grandeur and complexity of Emperor Jahangir’s court, contemporary Mughal politics, trade negotiations, and the daily realities of 17th-century India. The collection reveals the challenges and triumphs of early English diplomacy in South Asia, documenting first encounters, cultural exchanges, and the foundations of what would become the British Raj.
This authoritative primary source material is essential for historians, scholars of colonial India, and anyone interested in early modern diplomatic history and cross-cultural encounters.
