It remains the best study of diplomatic and military relations among Native American groups in seventeenth- and...

Voyages in Print : English Narratives of Travel to America 1576-1624
ISBN: 9780521036504 / Angielski / Miękka / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In the decades leading up to England's first permanent American colony, the literature that emerged needed to establish certain realities against a background of skepticism, and it also had to find ways of theorizing the enterprise. The voyage narratives evolved almost from the outset as a genre concerned with recuperating failure--as noble, strategic, even as a form of success. Reception of these texts since the Victorian era has often accepted their claims of heroism and mastery; this study argues for a more complicated, less glorious history.
