Opis

No one can think intelligently about the British Empire unless he understands its ideational beginnings. Wright proves that the main propagandists of the idea of empire as a divine mission were ships' chaplains, company preachers, and such geographically minded clergymen as Hakluyt and Purchas. Originally published in 1943.
