Coryats Crudities: Selections Paperback - 2017
by Thomas Coryate; Philip S. Palmer (Editor); Joseph Black (Editor)
From the rear cover
The early seventeenth-century traveler Thomas Coryate's five-month tour of Western Europe culminated in Coryats Crudities, one of the strangest travelogues published in early modern England. This edition abridges the Crudities' more than 900 pages to a manageable size, focusing on episodes most likely to be of interest to students--such as Coryate's descriptions of Venetian mountebanks, courtesans, and Jews; his crossing of the Alps; and his attendance at a Corpus Christi celebration in Paris.
The selection of contextual materials includes illustrations from the first edition, along with a sampling from another eccentric feature of the Crudities a collection of mock commendatory poems making fun of Coryate and his journey.
