Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Voyages of the Sixteenth Century English nation is itself but an incident. Or episode 'in a greater and wider world-drama. The discovery and settlement of America by the western peoples of Europe is the last act in a play which began in the cradle of the Aryans and which unrolls its vast theme leisurely, observing none of the unities. In this bistori cal pageant the hero is often changed; one nation after another presses to the front and draws to itself the eyes of all spectators; one after another falls fi'om its pre-eminence and yields its place to a new-comer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ...Reviews: "Professor Raleigh's book takes rank with Froude's essay as one of the best modern appreciations of the great age of English adventure."—THE SPECTATOR. "The introduction is so beautiful a piece of writing, apart from its excellence as an introduction to an English classic, that we feel very grateful to Professor Raleigh for making it more readily accessible to the large audience interested in our sea adventures. It is the most delightful and lucid exposition of the history of English exploration which has yet come before us." —MANCHESTER GUARDIAN. Professor Raleigh has here given us an extremely interesting book. . . . The subject is one we hope he will return to." —THE ACADEMY. "Admirably has the author treated of the influences of the Elizabethan voyages on literature.... This well-inspired essay, with its vivid appeal to the imagination, should not lack readers."—WESTMINSTER GAZETTE. "The book is, indeed, capital reading, and may be cordially commended to the attention of those who are inclined to think a university professor is necessarily a 'Dryasdust.' Professor Raleigh takes a large view of his subject, and writes about it with a fine and stirring enthusiasm."—DAILY TELEGRAPH.

Download or read book A New Andalucia and a Way to the Orient written by Paul E. Hoffman and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2004-11-01 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul E. Hoffman's groundbreaking book focuses on a neglected area of colonial history -- southeastern North America during the sixteenth-century. Hoffman describes expeditions to the region, efforts at colonization, and rivalries between the French, Spanish, and English. He reveals the ways in which the explorers' expectations -- fueled by legends -- crumbled in the face of difficulties encountered along the southeastern coast. The first book to link the earliest voyages with the explorations of the sixteenth century and the settlement of later colonies, Hoffman's work is an important reassessment of southern colonial history.
Download or read book Travel and Conflict in the Early Modern World written by Gábor Gelléri and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-18 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection examines the meeting points between travel, mobility, and conflict to uncover the experience of travel – whether real or imagined – in the early modern world. Until relatively recently, both domestic travel and voyages to the wider world remained dangerous undertakings. Physical travel, whether initiated by religious conversion and pilgrimage, diplomacy, trade, war, or the desire to encounter other cultures, inevitably heralded disruption: contact zones witnessed cultural encounters that were not always cordial, despite the knowledge acquisition and financial gain that could be reaped from travel. Vast compendia of travel such as Hakluyt’s Principla Navigations, Voyages and Discoveries, printed from the late sixteenth century, and Prévost's Histoire Générale des Voyages (1746-1759) underscored European exploration as a marker of European progress, and in so doing showed the tensions that can arise as a consequence of interaction with other cultures. In focusing upon language acquisition and translation, travel and religion, travel and politics, and imaginary travel, the essays in this collection tease out the ways in which travel was both obstructed and enriched by conflict.
Download or read book Voyages and Discoveries written by Richard Hakluyt and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2006-05-25 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renaissance diplomat and part-time spy, William Hakluyt was also England's first serious geographer, gathering together a wealth of accounts about the wide-ranging travels and discoveries of the sixteenth-century English. One of the epics of this great period of expansion, The Principal Navigations, Voyages, Traffiques and Discoveries of the English Nation describes, in the words of the explorers themselves, an astonishing era in which the English grew rapidly aware of the sheer size and strangeness of their world. Mingling accounts of the journeys of renowned adventurers such as Drake and Frobisher with descriptions by other explorers and traders to reveal a nation beginning to dominate the seas, Hakluyt's great work was originally intended principally to assist navigation and trade. It also presents one of the first and greatest modern portraits of the globe.
