Description: Amazons, Savages, and Machiavels : Travel and Colonial Writing in English, 1 : An Anthology, Paperback by Hadfield, Andrew (EDT), ISBN 0198711867, ISBN-13 9780198711865, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Amazons, Savages, and Machiavels is an accessible and unique 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. Ranging from Raleighs account of the Amazons and Captain John Smiths story of Pocahontas to Coryats cheerful encounter with a Venetian courtesan and Florios translation of Montaignes famous "Of the Cannibals," the volume also includes helpful headnotes, a substantial
introduction, chronology, full bibliography, and seventeen original illustrations.
