Apie autorių

Richard Hakluyt (c. 1552 – 23 November 1616) was an English writer, geographer, and an advocate for the expansion of English exploration. A prominent figure of the Elizabethan era, Hakluyt's enduring contribution to the world of literature and geography rests predominantly on his tireless compilation of navigational texts and travellers' accounts. His scholarship was driven by a profound belief in the economic, political, and spiritual benefits of colonial expansion. In 'The Discovery of Muscovy', Hakluyt offers a compelling narrative about the English encounters with the Russian Empire, shedding light on aspects of geopolitical and cultural significance. His seminal work, 'The Principal Navigations, Voyages, Traffiques and Discoveries of the English Nation', which expanded across three volumes, is renowned for its meticulous chronicling of British maritime history and has been significant in fostering national consciousness and supporting colonial ventures during the period. His literary style combined vivid description with rigorous documentary evidence, presenting a blend of the accessible and the scholarly. This style, while evidencing the grand narratives of discovery and conquest, also provided an encyclopedic reservoir of knowledge for future generations. Overall, Hakluyt stands as a crucial figure in consolidating England's naval legacy and played an instrumental role in promoting the spirit of discovery that fueled the era of exploration.
