Amazons, Savages, and Machiavels: Travel and Colonial Writing in English, 1550-1630: An Anthology, 2nd Edition edited by Andrew Hadfield, Matthew Dimmock
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 5 MB
Overview: A broad-based and accessible anthology of travel and colonial writing in the English Renaissance, selected to represent the world-picture of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century readers in England. It includes not just the narratives of discovery of the New World but also accounts of cultures already well known through trade links, such as Turkey and the Moluccan islands, and of places that featured just as significantly in the early modern English imagination: from Ireland to Russia and the Far East, from Calais to India and Africa, from France and Italy to the West Indies. The writings reveal painstaking attempts to understand the ‘other’ as well as ignorance and prejudice, surprising connections alongside phobic reactions to difference, the desire to co-operate alongside the desire to extinguish and exploit.
