| description | David Kenneth Bassett (1931–1989) spent several years teaching at the
University of Malaya (which was then in Singapore), and at the same
institution following its relocation to Kuala Lumpur. In 1965 he was
appointed to the faculty of the University of Hull, where he served as
Director of the Centre for South-East Asian Studies until 1988, a year
before his premature death in 1989 at the age of 59. Bassett's career thus
spans a formative period in Southeast Asian studies. In 1950, a Department
of Southeast Asian History was established in the School of Oriental and
African Studies (SOAS) in London, and two years later Bassett entered the
programme as a doctoral candidate. His dissertation, "The Factory of the
East India Company at Bantam 1602–1682," was submitted in 1955, the
same year that D.G.E. Hall published his History of South-East Asia, which
represents the first attempt at a regional coverage. As one of the early
SOAS graduates, Bassett was a pioneer in the embryonic field of Southeast
Asian studies, continuing on to become a world-renowned specialist on
European trade in the Malay world in the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries. |
