Specificatii
When it was discovered in 1976, John Dee's The Limits of the
British Empire (1577-78) was quickly recognized as a seminal text
in the history of English Atlantic discovery, settlement, and
imperial ideology. Writing directly to Queen Elizabeth and drawing
on ancient and contemporary history, geography, and law as his
supporting evidence, Dee argued for the existence and recovery of a
vast British Empire. This included much of the North Atlantic and
North America, Ireland and Scotland, and even portions of
Scandinavia and the Iberian Peninsula. King Arthur, Geoffrey of
Monmouth, Robert the Bruce, Pope Alexander VI, Martin Frobisher,
and the Emperor Justinian are just a few of the historical agents
who help to make this treatise at once erudite, elegant, and
effusive.Offered for the first time in print, this volume uses
sources that will be of interest to scholars in history and
historical geography, English and British studies, and legal and
empire studies. The book shows that Dee was an important
propagandist of empire, that English antiquarianism was used to
practical purpose, and that the legal foundations of the empire
were not based solely on the indigenous, common law. In making
these claims, this study contributes directly to several debates
about the ideological development of the British Empire, especially
the work of David Armitage and Anthony Pagden.
