The Narratives Of The Voyages Of The Elizabethan And Early Jacobean Era Have Delighted Readers Over The Centuries As Stirring Accounts Of The Daring Of Empirebuilders. In The Belief That In Our Postimperial Era These Writings Can Be Seen As A Powerful And Special Kind Of Literature, Having Kinship With The Great Fictional Tragedies Of The Period, Philip Edwards Here Collects The Contemporary Accounts Of Three Famous 'Last Voyages'. Written By The Participants Themselvesleaders, Mutineers, Young Gentlemen, And A Poet And Mathematicianthe Narratives Recount Moving Stories Of Endeavor And Defeat In The Face Of Difficult Seas And Hostile Terrain. There Is Thomas Cavendish'S Fatal Attempt In 159192 To Repeat His Earlier Triumphant Circumnavigation; Henry Hudson'S Last Attempt To Find The Northwest Passage In 161011, In Which He Was Ultimately Set Adrift On The Ice By His Own Crew; And Sir Walter Raliegh'S Failed Attempt To Find Gold In Guiana In 161718, Before Returning To England And Execution. All The Narratives Are Given In Modern Spelling And Have Been Newly Reedited From The Original Manuscripts Or Printings. Edwards'S Introductions Correct A Number Of Historical Inaccuracies, And He Includes A Full Explanatory Commentary.
