Sir Walter Raleigh (1552-1618) had fingers in nearly every pot of the Elizabethan era. Of an obscure West Country origin, Raleigh was knighted by Elizabeth I in 1585 and became one of her most intimate courtiers. In 1586 some of Raleigh's men captured Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa, who had had command of a naval garrison in Chile. When brought back to England and questioned by Raleigh (in Latin, as the story goes, being their common tongue), Sarmiento told Raleigh of the mythical golden city of El Dorado (Manoa) in "Guyana" (modern Venezuela). From then Raleigh's interest grew, and he eventually used the limitless riches it would surely yield as a way of climbing back into royal favor after an unauthorized marriage to one of Elizabeth's ladies-in-waiting. In 1595 Raleigh finally set off in search of the golden city, and after a great many adventures returned, goldless, later the same year. The monetary failure of the mission in the face of its cost caused Raleigh to write a florid defense of his exploration: The Discoverie. So great was the curiosity, so tantalizing the prospect, that three "editions" (issues of the first edition, more accurately) were printed in 1596. There is no established priority to these issues, and the variations are mostly inconsequential. As the most famous of Raleigh's accounts of his explorations and exploits -- and perhaps the apogee of Elizabethan voyages -- the value of the work is clear, but to that we may add a more distinguished literary patrimony. Shakespeare's Tempest, although it nominally occurs in the Mediterranean, has long been considered an engagement with exploration of the New World (e.g., Miranda's "brave new world" in V.1.205). The Quellenforschung of the Tempest began in the XVIIIc, and although we should be well-advised that Shakespeare's plays are gems and not mines, there are certain unmistakable similarities, e.g., The interpretor asked whence he had those hens, he said they were brought from a mountaine not passing a quarter of a league thence, where were many Indians, yea so many as grasse on the ground, and that these men had the points of their shoulders higher than the Crownes of their heads. . . (The Discoverie, p. 109) Who would believe that there were mountaineers dew-lapp'd like bulls, whose throats had hanging at 'em wallets of flesh? or that there were such men whose heads stood in their breasts? . . (The Tempest III.iii.44-47) The imagery of poultry wattles, the mountain men and the placement of the heads suggests that the poet may well have had the Discoverie either at hand or at least in mind. The present item came from the collection of John L. Clawson (1865-1933), which was sold at Anderson (21 May 1926) as a "Splendid Elizabethan & Early Stuart Library." Seymour de Ricci prepared a catalogue of that library in 1924, and in his preface wrote "now that the Huntington library has become the property of the state of California, John L. Clawson can claim that no better general collection of Elizabethan literature exists in private hands" (xii).…
