This talk will present the accounts of a few such early Englishmen in India: Sighelmus of Sherborne (883 CE), Thomas Stevens (1579), Ralph Fitch and his companions (1583), and John Mildenhall (1599). It will also mention two more men from the British Isles, who may not quite qualify as real &#8216;Englishmen&#8217; to have visited India before 1600, but deserve mention nonetheless: James of Ireland (c. 1320) and the probably apocryphal Sir John Mandeville (c. 1350s).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Saugata Bhaduri<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saugata Bhaduri is Professor at the Centre for English Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India, and currently Visiting Professor at ILCEA4, Universit\u00e9 Grenoble Alpes.
