Their understanding of South Asian trade and India was sketchy at best, and, to the Mughals, they were minor players on a very large stage. Roe represented a kingdom that was beset by financial woes and deeply conflicted about its identity as a unified 'Great Britain' under the Stuart monarchy. Meanwhile, the court he entered in India was wealthy and cultured, its dominion widely considered to be one of the greatest and richest empires of the world. In this fascinating history of Roe's four years in India, Nandini Das offers an insider's view of Britain in the making, a country whose imperial seeds were just being sown. It is a story of palace intrigue, scandal, lotteries, and wagers that unfold as global trade begins to stretch from Russia to Virginia, from West Africa to the Spice Islands of Indonesia."-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Nova Felix Arabia -- Trades increase -- India Englished -- Knight's move -- Odcombian Legstretcher -- Descendants of Tamburlaine -- The first meeting -- The prince -- The matter with Mr Jones -- HIdden figures -- The wager -- Little commonwealth -- Lashkar -- A patient king -- The chaplain -- Factors -- Queen Normal -- Triumph of honour and industry -- Full resolution -- London. 600 10 $a Roe, Thomas, $c Sir, $d 1581?-1644. 600 00 $a Jahangir, $c Emperor of Hindustan, $d 1569-1627. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History. $z India $x History. 651 0 $a India $x History. $z Great Britain $x History. 651 0 $a India $x History $y 1526-1765. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y James I, 1603-1625. 651 0 $a Mogul Empire $x Foreign relations $z Great Britain. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Foreign relations $z Mogul Empire. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Das, Nandini, 1974- $t Courting India. $b First Pegasus Books cloth edition. $d New York : Pegasus Books, 2023 $z 9781639363230 $w (OCoLC)1388239588 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240502013600.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=200EDAA8DABF11EEBE8532184BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
