The Edwin Fox: How an Ordinary Sailing Ship Connected the World in the Age of Globalization, 1850–1914. A Conversation with the Authors.

The story of the Edwin Fox reveals how an everyday merchant ship drew together a changing world and its people in an extraordinary age of rising empires, sweeping economic transformation, and social change.
This fascinating work of global history offers a vividly detailed and engaging narrative of globalization writ small, viewed from the decks and holds of a single vessel.
The Edwin Fox connected the lives and histories of millions, though most never even saw it.

Join University of Canterbury historian Katie Pickles for a conversation with the authors of this engaging new book, Boyd Cothran and Adrian Shubert of York University in Toronto.
