About the book >.>.> The Purchas Handbook serves as a comprehensive reference guide to the works of the Reverend Samuel Purchas (1577-1626), critically assessing his contributions as a collector, editor, and author within the realm of travel literature. This two-volume handbook seeks to highlight Purchas's relevance for contemporary scholars across various disciplines, including history, geography, anthropology, theology, literature, linguistics, bibliography, and natural history. While the primary focus is on his seminal work, Purchas His Pilgrimes (1625), earlier writings are also explored to provide a fuller understanding of his impact.Volume I is divided into four parts. Part one presents a narrative essay detailing the utilisation of Purchas's works by authors from the seventeenth century to the present. Part two offers insights into his editing techniques, the inclusion of maps in Pilgrimes, and Purchas's perspectives towards indigenous populations across Africa, Asia, and America. Part three begins with an examination of Purchas as a theological geographer, followed by ten chapters critiquing his utilisation of contemporary accounts regarding Africa, Asia, the Arctic, and the Americas. The volume concludes with part four, which chronicles Purchas's life alongside his academic, religious, and publishing milestones. Volume II delves into the specifics of Purchas His Pilgrimes, including a detailed examination of its contents and sources. It features a primary bibliography of Purchas's works, an analysis of the printing history of Pilgrimes, and surveys of library holdings of his works globally. Additionally, it includes an annotated secondary bibliography that outlines later authors' engagement with his writings, culminating in an index of cited books and articles and a general index of key persons, places, and topics. This extensive collaboration encompasses contributions from nineteen scholars across three continents, eight of whom are from Britain. (MP).…
