Negative Positive
Title: A fantastic book
Review: John Archer has written an amazingly interesting account of Renaissance travel literature. He uses the concept of "paracolonialism" to discuss a range of Renaissance texts, some well known, some not. The intelligence of Archer's prose and analysis make this book an welcome oasis in the increasingly arid desert that Renaissance studies has become. Old Worlds will also be of deep interest to anyone working in colonial and post-colonial theory.
