Talk:Coryat's Crudities

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

'Frequently isolated Britain'. But that's probably a misconception. The generation which had the UK staying out of the Thirty Years' War, and the Cromwell period: yes, that was an introspective time. But you can't say that for the rest of the Stuarts, William-and-Mary, the Hanoverians. In some ways there was a parochial culture, but in other ways not.

A bunch of changes here. Firstly, Coryat's voyage was not even mostly on foot, so that needed to be fixed. Also, the book itself was not edited "beyond recognition;" the addition of the panegyrics is the extent of the changes. I threw in some good old fashion references, too, since the original is pretty lacking in them. Some of the other changes made were cosmetic, but I also added the Purchas info just for kicks. geoffr111 12:44, 30 January 2007 (EST)
