Recent historical scholarship has shown the way toward a geographically capacious conception of the early modern world. Featuring essays by nine leading scholars of early modern Asia and Europe, "Comparative Early Modernities" casts aside the legacies of European exceptionalism to reveal the interconnected multiplicity of the early modern world and the variety of unexpected pathways linking these histories to the evolving modernities of the twenty-first century. In their fresh and provocative examinations of topics in literature, philosophy, art history, and political economy, the authors transform our understanding of global early modernity and reassess the theoretical and methodological premises of comparative historical studies. David Porter is a professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of Michigan. He is the author of "Ideographia : the Chinese Cipher in Early Modern Europe" (2001) and "The Chinese Taste in Eighteenth-Century England" (2010)
