For more than two centuries following its formation in 1581, the Levant Company enjoyed a monopoly of British trade with the Ottoman Empire and provided Britain's diplomatic representation at the Sultan's court and throughout the Ottoman territories. Rather than focusing on 'the Turkey trade' itself, or on the merchants who engaged in it, Christine Laidlaw examines the supporting cast of Britons - officials, clergymen, physicians and accompanying family members - who lived and worked alongside the merchants at the Company's three principal trading posts at Istanbul, Izmir and Aleppo during the eighteenth century. This unique perspective will be invaluable for historians of the eighteenth century and the Ottoman Empire. 'This book contributes to the social and economic history of Britain and the Middle East by exploring the social life of the Levant Company in a way which no one has yet done. Instead of treating the Levant Company as purely an economic organisation, the book charts a new direction by delving into the social, scientific, religious, collegial and family-based life of the company. This is a must read for anyone interested in the Levant Company. It also sheds interesting light on the diverse forms and motivations involved in early modern European commercial expansion.' - John Chalcraft, Reader in the History and Politics of Empire/Imperialism, London School of Economics and Political Science Business Business eBook, I.B.Tauris<
