Reviews
Travel and Conflict in the Early Modern World is a rich, wide-ranging and genuinely fascinating collection of essays, with contributions from across a range of disciplines. It will become standard reading for anyone interested in travel or travel writing - its modes, challenges, innovations and social and political dimensions - in the global Renaissance. Jane Grogan, Associate Professor, University College Dublin Early modern travel was a risky business, exposing those undertaking it to physical and mental dangers. Simultaneously, however, travel provided novel opportunities for complex negotiations and stimulating cultural encounters. The varied and overlapping connections between conflict and travel, real and imagined, and what they meant, are the focus of this thought-provoking collection of essays by leading scholars. Ranging across spaces, genres, modes, and geo-polities, the self-reflexive and creative uses of the conflicts travel engendered amongst those undertaking it provide a fascinating lens to explore early modern power dynamics in a number of dimensions. Claire Jowitt, Associate Dean and Professor of Renaissance Studies, University of East Anglia Each individual essay in this collection is impressive in its own right, but taken all together, they constitute a volume that is significantly greater than the sum of its parts. From the perils of travel to the perils that enforced travel, from real to imagined mobility that span real and imagined geo-political spaces, this is an ambitious and extraordinarily varied collection that demands attention from anyone interested in early modern travel, and in travel writing in general. Nandini Das, Professor of Early Modern Literature and Culture, University of Oxford.
