Review

`Review from previous edition Hadfield's . . . scholarly and informed book . . . is an enterprising examination of the intricacies of political comment in Tudor and Stuart times, and he is adept in teasing out the significance of cautious multi-layered narrative. ' Times Literary Supplement

`an ambitious and nuanced treatment . . . In his rewarding book Hadfield shows us just how "multiple" the intellectual and political "contexts" for early modern travel were and consistently juxtaposes those contexts with travel accounts in a way that brings their importance home. . . . Hadfield is especially good at sketching in the intellectual background that these travellers brought with them and in bringing out the republican overtones of their accounts.' Sixteenth Century Journal

`This important and timely book brings a new expansiveness and sophistication to its field.' Shakespeare Quarterly

`The ideas raised . . . are both interesting and challenging - and not infrequently radical in their questioning of received thinking. . . . an especially important contribution to the interpretation of Renaissance travel writing and concepts of place . . . Hadfield's sheer range of primary references provides a secure foundation for his empirical investigations.' Notes and Queries

`Hadfield's study is important both for the special focus he brings to this area and for the breadth of its research. . . . both forceful and productive . . . Hadfield effectively calls for us to reconsider some texts, writers and genres to which we have not devoted sufficient critical attention.' Sixteenth Century Journal
