Travel Narratives, the New Science, and Literary Discourse, 1569-1750 (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Hayden, Judy A.

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The focus of this volume is the intersection and the cross-fertilization between the travel narrative, literary discourse and the New Philosophy in the early modern to early eighteenth-century historical periods. Contributors examine how, in an historical era which realized an emphasis on nation and during a time when exploration was laying the foundation for empire, science and the literary discourse of the travel narrative become intrinsically linked.
