Description
This book focuses on the work of the great sixteenth-century traveller and map-maker, Andre Thevet. Accused of blasphemous audacity and mocked for his encyclopaedic aims, the figure of Thevet is a wonderful example of the way knowledge of the world was transformed during the decline of the Renaissance. Exploring the interrelations between representation and power in the age of discovery, Mapping the Renaissance World will be of interest to students and researchers in early modern history, literature and anthropology.
