HIST 414 - Traveling the Globe in the Premodern World3 Credit Hours
How connected were communities across the world before and during the “age of exploration”? Who traveled long distances in the premodern? Why and how did they make their journeys, and how did their impressions of the places and peoples they visited influence the imaginations of their home populations? What connected famous explorers like Marco Polo, Ibn Battuta, and Christopher Columbus to people who traveled the globe as part of their daily lives as merchants, captives, and pirates? This course will address these questions and more, covering long-distance travel from the late medieval through the colonial period.
