520 |a Oral and epistolary flows of information are the dark matter of early modern history. Omnipresent, yet often imperceptible to the historian’s eye, such information flows connected Europe and the Middle East long before the emergence of modern communications, and they played an important role in the creation of a ‘connected world’ in the seventeenth century. The Whispers of Cities explores how information linked Istanbul, London, and Paris in the late seventeenth century. To this end, the book explores early modern communication through the adventures and experiences of Sir William Trumbull, English ambassador to Istanbul from 1687 to 1692. The book tracks Trumbull during his transformation from a civil lawyer and state official in London to a European notable at the heart of Ottoman social networks in Istanbul. During his residence in the Ottoman capital, Trumbull would turn to a wide range of local informants for information and news about Ottoman politics, and he would himself become an agent in the production of news about the Ottoman world for publics in Europe. In this way, this book argues that information flows between Istanbul, London, and Paris were rooted in the personal encounters that took place between Ottomans and Europeans in everyday communication in Istanbul. At the intersection of global history and the history of communication, The Whisper of Cities explores what ‘connectedness’ meant in practice for the lives of people in the seventeenth century.
