Description

Rhetoric and Wonder in English Travel Writing, 1560-1613 explores how rhetorical invention, elocution and ethos functioned together to create believable travel narratives by generating intellectual and emotional significance. The book examines how traveller-writers used consensual representations grounded in metaphorical epistemology, whilst revealing the tension many felt as empiricist thinking began to challenge such approaches. This work illuminates the crucial episteme shift from Renaissance rhetoric to early modernity, tracing how distrust of metaphor and rhetorical language reshaped representations of travel and discovery during a transformative period in English literature and thought.
