More about the book

The intricate relationship between commerce and diplomacy during the eighteenth century is explored through the lens of the British Embassy in Istanbul, funded by the Levant Company. Michael Talbot examines the evolution of diplomatic practices from 1661 to 1807, utilizing a diverse array of sources, including legal documents and personal accounts. He highlights the significance of gift-giving rituals and their varying interpretations by British and Ottoman officials, while also addressing how the Levant Company's decline impacted the embassy's effectiveness amid rising British aggression in the region.
