Routledge, 1997-01-28. Product Bundle. Very Good. 9x6x2. 2 volumes, no jackets, blue cloth boards have minor wear, binding sound, internally clean. The Purchas Handbook follows the model of the Society's earlier Hakluyt Handbook in providing a reference guide to the works of the Reverend Samuel Purchas (1577-1626) and a critical evaluation of his achievements as collector, editor, and author of travel literature. The Handbook attempts to evaluate his significance for present-day students of history, geography, anthropology, theology, literature, linguistics, bibliography and natural history.
