First published in 1930, Tudor Geography discusses the men and the geographical concepts that enabled world-famous voyages by the British with the aim of circumventing Spanish and Portuguese monopoly of the direct routes to the Spice Islands. The book throws light on a new facet of a fateful century during which Englishmen of all ranks were forced gradually, by circumstances, to think geographically as they had never done before. This book will be of interest to students of history and geography.
