Opis

The early seventeenth-century traveler Thomas Coryate's five-month tour of Western Europe culminated in Coryats Crudities, one of the strangest travelogues published in early modern England. This edition abridges Crudities' more than 900 pages to a manageable size, focusing on episodes most likely to be of interest to students.
