本書內容為1626－1642年西班牙人在台灣的歷史，但所涉及的時空及思想範圍均較此更為深廣。書中將西班牙人前往台灣的理由上溯直至十六世紀末，其殖民經驗影響的衡量，則一直持續到1648年西荷簽訂「西發利亞和平條約」為止。 著者認為西班牙人前往台灣，主要是基於世俗和宗教兩大理由：首先，荷蘭人自1625年以來便壟斷福建與馬尼拉之間的貿易關係，迫使西班牙起而與之抗衡；其次，西班牙人急於建立據點，以進入迫

In the centuries since his death, Francis Bacon has been perceived as a promoter and prophet of 'natural science'. Certainly Bacon expected to fill the vacuum which he saw existing in the study of nature; but he also saw himself as a clarifier and promoter of what he called 'policy', that is, the study and improvement of the structure and function of civil states including the then new British state. In this major study, Brian Wormald's first since his work on Clarendon, Bacon is shown resolving this conflict by attending assiduously to both fields, arguing that work on one would help progress in the other. In his teaching, in his practice and in terms of what was actually achieved, the junction between the two enterprises was affected by Bacon's work in history - civil and natural. In this fundamental reappraisal of one of the most complex and innovative figures of the age, Brian Wormald reveals how Bacon's conception and practice of history provided an answer to his strivings in both

This book presenting the Spanish presence in Taiwan during the years 1626-1642 has a wide chronological and conceptual scope. The reasons for the Spaniards coming to Taiwan are traced back to th

Studies of orientalism have chiefly concentrated on the eighteenth century and beyond, while Renaissance work on colonial discourse and travel writing has concentrated on the New World. Before Orientalism examines early Anglo-Indian cultural relations through trade (with the establishment of the East India Company), tourism and diplomacy and illuminates important differences between the reports of travellers and the representations of the London press and stage. Richmond Barbour examines exotic visions of the East as staged in the playhouses, at court, and on the streets of Shakespeare's London. He follows the efforts of the newly established East India Company, and the troubled, deeply theatrical careers of England's first tourist and first ambassador in India, Thomas Coryate and Sir Thomas Roe. The wide range of illustrations depict early modern London's theatricalization of the world and exotic representations of the East and reveal European influences on Moghul art and the latter o
