Amazons, Savages, and Machiavels: Travel and Colonial Writing in English, 1550-1630: An Anthology: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Amazons, Savages, and Machiavels: Travel and Colonial Writing in English, 1550-1630: An Anthology" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
The second edition of Amazons, Savages, and Machiavels is significantly revised and expanded, twenty years after the first edition helped to establish the field of travel and colonial writing in English. The anthology includes substantial new chapters of extracts on The North, detailing the important Arctic voyages and search for the elusive North-West Passage; Islamic West Asia and the Eastern Mediterranean, includes new material on Persia, Russia, and Jerusalem; England from Elsewhere includes observations of England and the English from European travellers; and the epilogue on women travellers, explores the importance in particular of Lady Catherine Whetenhalls journey to Italy, recorded after her early death. The chapter on Africa includes new material on the Congo, Gambia, and Sierra Leone, and the chapter on East Asia and the South Seas contains new material on China and Japan. There are new images of West African figures and Sir Anthony and Lady Shirley in Persian courtly
attire. The introduction has been carefully revised to take into account the wealth of scholarship on English perceptions of Asia and the Mediterranean, and the analysis of race and racial identity has been expanded in line with contemporary concerns. Headnotes and notes have been revised and expanded throughout the text.
The anthology is the most comprehensive single-volume available in English, and, with its newly modernized text and reader-friendly apparatus, is designed to appeal to the general as well as the specialist reader. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of travel, colonial writing, and racial politics at the time of the first British Empire.

It has been a great pleasure revising this edition for the press who initially solicited the project in 1998. Andrew Hadfield would like to thank Matthew Dimmock for his scholarly expertise, good humour and friendship, which now goes back nearly as far as the first edition (2001). In particular, Prof. Dimmock has enabled the anthology to become far more global in scope, covering the vast range of the Ottoman Empire, China, Japan, and Africa more comprehensively than the first edition. Matthew Dimmock would like to thank Andrew Hadfield for the characteristically generous invitation to jointly work with him on this new edition, a process which has, as always, been a joy, an honour, and a privilege.
The transcription has been checked and corrected in a few places; the introduction, headnotes and notes have all been revised; and some material omitted from the first edition for reasons of space and balance. The edition has been considerably expanded with the addition of material from George Abbot, William Adams, John Davis, Richard Jobson, Richard Madox, Thomas Platter, Edward Terry, Henry Timberlake, Lady Catherine Whetenhall, and many others. We hope it reaches all readers interested in early modern global culture, English literature and the wider world, travel writing, English/British perceptions of Europe, colonialism and colonial history, the first British Empire, decolonizing the curriculum, the history of race and racism, and other subjects.
We would also like to thank the many colleagues who have helped us develop our ideas along the way: Daniel Carey and Claire Jowitt of the Hakluyt Project; Farah Karim-Cooper and Will Tosh at the Globe; and a number of experts in the field of travel and colonial writing, including Dennis Britton, Edward Chaney, Kim Coles, Nandini Das, Chloe Houston, Sir Noel Malcolm, Ladan Niayesh, Jyotsna Singh, and Ayanna Thompson. Colleagues in libraries have been helpful throughout and we would like to thank The Bodleian Library, Oxford; The British Library; The Folger Shakespeare Library; and The University of Sussex Library. As ever, it has been a pleasure to work with everyone at Oxford University Press and we would like to thank Eleanor Collins, Jacqueline Norton, Karen Raith, and Aimee Wright for making the transition from idea to edition such an enjoyable journey.
For permission to reproduce material we would like to thank the Leeds Philosophical and Literary Society and Prof. Michael Brennan for the extracts from Sir Charles Somersets Travel Diary; and The British Library for the extracts from Richard Madoxs Diary, Thomas Dallams Diary, and William Adamss Logbook. For permission to reproduce the images we would like to thank The British Library (cover, ).

Our primary concern in preparing text for this edition has been accessibility. Where the first edition adopted a light touch in terms of modernization, we have sought to make the text more comprehensible to the non-specialist reader without losing sight of the meaning of the original and, where possible, retaining its idiosyncrasies. Although printing increasingly standardized form and typographical conventions, there was throughout the period 15501630 a great deal of variation and little standardization in spelling in printed books. This can generate confusion, but it can also open up a rich field of meaning in which, for example, the distinction between travel and travail (work) could be usefully blurred.
Modernizing a sixteenth- or seventeenth-century text is therefore more than simply making it uniform, and the obvious gains need to be balanced against the less conspicuous losses. In practice this has meant removing the long s and ligatures, and regularizing the use of i/j and u/v; silently modernizing spelling (including the addition of apostrophes); standardizing other formatting elements where meaning is not affected; and changing punctuation where it is an impediment to clarity. However we have retained the original spelling of proper nounsin particular names of people and placesand in cases of quotation and/or transliteration in order to retain the immediacy of the original text and preserve the confusions, misunderstandings, and misrepresentations that travel invariably generated. The result of these changes can be seen, for example, in Richard Edens distinctive 1553 translation of Munster,
