Synopsis
Exploring how far early modern travel writing could give the strange the ring of truth, this book offers rhetorical readings of the representations by early modern writers of new worlds and the wonder experienced before them. The author complements, and sometimes counters, recent work on early modern travel literature by concentrating on its use of rhetoric to communicate meaning. In doing so, he suggests how familiarity with the workings of rhetoric may enhance readings of early modern English literature generally.
