First published in 1930, Tudor Geography discusses the men and the geographical concepts that enabled world-famous voyages by the British with the aim of circumventing Spanish and Portuguese monopoly of the direct routes to the Spice Islands. The book throws light on a new facet of a fateful century during which Englishmen of all ranks were forced gradually, by circumstances, to think geographically as they had never done before. This book will be of interest to students of history and geography.
More than fifty specialists have contributed to this new edition of volume 1 of The Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature. The design of the original work has established itself so firmly as a workable solution to the immense problems of analysis, articulation and coordination that it has been retained in all its essentials for the new edition. The task of the new contributors has been to revise and integrate the lists of 1940 and 1957, to add materials of the following decade, to correct and refine the bibliographical details already available, and to re-shape the whole according to a new series of conventions devised to give greater clarity and consistency to the entries.
