Book Synopsis Coryats Crudities: Selections by : Thomas Coryate

Download or read book Coryats Crudities: Selections written by Thomas Coryate and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
