British Discovery Literature and the Rise of Global Commerce examines how, between 1680 and 1800, British maritime travelers became both friends and foes of the commercial state. Examiningvoyage narratives by William Dampler, Daniel Defoe, Jonathan Swift, Tobias Smollett, Samuel Johnson, James Cook, and William Bligh, Neill demonstrates how the transformation of travelers from nomadicoutlaws into civil subjects, and vice versa, takes place against the political-economic backdrop of commercial expansion.This title examines how, between 1680 and 1800, British maritime travellers became both friends and foes of the commercial state. These nomadic characters report on remote parts of the globe in the twin contexts of an increasingly powerful imperial state and an emerging world economy.
