This book explores interconnections between voyage narratives and
travel plays in a period of intense foreign relations and the
incipient colonization of the New World. Eminent Renaissance
scholars use historical inquiry and textual analysis to offer
readings of narrative and dramatic texts, envisaged both in the
context of the period and from the far-reaching perspective of
Britain's cultural history. Plays like The Spanish Tragedy, Doctor
Faustus, Eastward Ho! or The Tempest - itself the subject of three
chapters - are discussed alongside relatively obscure works. The
plays are never approached as mere cultural documents. The
underlying assumption is that the theatre is not reducible to a
medium for conflicting ideologies but should be viewed as a
privileged site of various meanings, of roads leading in several
directions.
