Richard Eden's Decades has long been recognised as a landmark in
the translation and circulation of information concerning the
Americas in England. What is often overlooked in Eden's book is the
presence of the first two Tudor voyage accounts to have been
committed to print, assembled in haste and added late in the
printing process. Both concern English commercial ventures to the
West African coast, undertaken despite vehement Portuguese protests
and in the midst of the profound alteration of the Marian
succession. Both are complex, contradictory, and innovative
experiments in generic form and content. This Element closely
examines Eden's assembly and framing of these accounts, engaging
with issues of material culture, travel writing, new knowledge,
race, and the negotiation of political and religious change. In the
process it repositions West Africa and Eden at the heart of a lost
history of early English expansionism.
