Description: An anthology of writings by English travellers in the Renaissance that helps students understand travel and colonial writing by English writers in the first age of English exploration. This second edition includes new research on race, women in travel texts, and non-English voices.
Review Quotes: "The anthology is written in an approachable, mostly jargonfree style. It is accessible for students and a wide readership, especially as each excerpt is accompanied by an opening introduction to the author and the text. I look forward to using this second edition of the anthology for teaching and other purposes in the future." -- Archiv für das Studium der neueren Sprachen und Literaturen, 260:2
