Book excerpt: L'étude de la carrière d'un scribe de la littérature des voyages permet de mieux comprendre quels étaient les enjeux de la composition d'un récit de voyage à la fin de la Renaissance. Depuis la transcription des mémoires des voyageurs jusqu'à l'édition finale de l'imprimé, Pierre Bergeron a façonné les témoignages de Pyrard, Mocquet et Le Blanc afin de les rendre publiables. La récriture des récits de voyages répond en partie à un objectif militant, fondant une rhétorique de la propagande coloniale, sans toutefois s'y réduire. Entre l'enquête objective et le témoignage romanesque, les récits remaniés par Pierre Bergeron sont une source d'information scientifique mais aussi de divertissement pour les curieux. Analyser les pratiques éditoriales de Pierre Bergeron aide en définitive à mieux comprendre la culture scientifique et littéraire de la fin de la Renaissance.

Book The Protestant International and the Huguenot Migration to Virginia

Download or read book The Protestant International and the Huguenot Migration to Virginia written by David E. Lambert and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2010 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1700, King William III assigned Charles de Sailly to accompany Huguenot refugees to Manakin Town on the Virginia frontier. The existing explanation for why this migration was necessary is overly simplistic and seriously conflated. Based largely on English-language sources with an English Atlantic focus, it contends that King William III, grateful to the French Protestant refugees who helped him invade England during the Glorious Revolution (1688) and win victory in Ireland (1691), rewarded these refugees by granting them 10,000 acres in Virginia on which to settle. Using French-language sources and a wider, more European focus than existing interpretations, this book offers an alternative explanation. It delineates a Huguenot refugee resettlement network within a «Protestant International», highlighting the patronage of both King William himself and his valued Huguenot associate, Henri de Ruvigny (Lord Galway). By 1700, King William was politically battered by the interwoven pressures of an English reaction against his high-profile foreign favorites (Galway among them) and the Irish land grants he had awarded to close colleagues (to Galway and others). This book asserts that King William and Lord Galway sponsored the Manakin Town migration to provide an alternate location for Huguenot military refugees in the worst-case scenario that they might lose their Irish refuge.
