When Sir Francis Drake returned to England in 1580, manyquestions concerning his momentous voyage were left unanswered—hisjournals were impounded and his men were forbidden, on pain ofdeath, to divulge where they had been. Drawing on newly uncoveredevidence, geographer and maritime historian Samuel Bawlfmasterfully reconstructs Francis Drake’s historic round-the-worldexpedition, exploring the drama surrounding the voyage and offeringintriguing insights into life at sea in the sixteenth century. Butit is Bawlf’s assertion of Drake’s whereabouts in the summer of1579 that gives the book even greater originality: from anintensive study of maps of the period, Bawlf shows with certaintythat Drake sailed all the way to Alaska—much farther than anyonehas heretofore imagined—thereby rewriting the history ofexploration in North America.

Lyrical Ballads (1798 and 1800) constituted a quiet poeticrevolution, both in its attitude to its subject-matter and itsanti-conventional language. Those volumes and Wordsworth's andColeridge's other major poems were central to the Romantic periodand remain classic texts in our own time. Wordsworth focuses on'the essential passions of the heart' and achieves a penetratinginsight into love and death, solitude and community. Coleridgeexplores a more fantastic and dreamlike imagination and also writespoems of quiet, conversational meditation. Both poets look with afresh and visionary eye at the human and the natural world. Theyexamine the condition of men and women at the extreme edge ofsociety; they are also subtle analysts of their own minds and theprocesses of introspection and memory. This volume contains all ofLyrical Ballads (1798) with Wordsworth's Preface of 1800/1802, anda wide-ranging selection of both poet's other work, includingvirtually all their best known and discussed shorter poems.
