Book excerpt: One of the most arresting stories in the history of exploration, these two Icelandic sagas tell of the discovery of America by Norsemen five centuries before Christopher Columbus. Together, the direct, forceful twelfth-century Graenlendinga Saga and the more polished and scholarly Eirik's Saga, written some hundred years later, recount how Eirik the Red founded an Icelandic colony in Greenland and how his son, Leif the Lucky, later sailed south to explore - and if possible exploit - the chance discovery by Bjarni Herjolfsson of an unknown land. In spare and vigorous prose they record Europe's first surprise glimpse of the eastern shores of the North American continent and the natives who inhabited them.

Book excerpt: The Saga of the Greenlanders and Eirik the Red’s Saga contain the first ever descriptions of North America, a bountiful land of grapes and vines, discovered by Vikings five centuries before Christopher Columbus. Written down in the early thirteenth century, they recount the Icelandic settlement of Greenland by Eirik the Red, the chance discovery by seafaring adventurers of a mysterious new land, and Eirik’s son Leif the Lucky’s perilous voyages to explore it. Wrecked by storms, stricken by disease and plagued by navigational mishaps, some survived the North Atlantic to pass down this compelling tale of the first Europeans to talk with, trade with, and war with the Native Americans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The three volumes that will encompass North American Exploration appraise the full scope of the exploration of the North American continent and its oceanic margins from prior to the arrival of Columbus until the end of the nineteenth century. More than an assessment of historical events, these volumes portray the process of exploration. Without forgetting the romance of exploration, the authors recognize that exploration is a great deal more than the adventures themselves. All explorers are conditioned by the time, place, and circumstances of their efforts; these determine objectives, the behavior of explorers, and the consequences of their discoveries. In this first volume we follow the expansion of knowledge from the world of the pre-Columbian explorers through the end of the sixteenth century, with each topic addressed by an expert, and all fitting into a coherent whole. The volume is enhanced by a discussion of the geographical knowledge and beliefs of the native peoples of the North American continent, and how this knowledge influenced the efforts and understanding of the Europeans. John Logan Allen is a professor of geography at the University of Connecticut. He is the author of Passage through the Garden: Lewis and Clark and the Image of the American Northwest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like most Scandinavian sagas the question regarding their accuracy centers on an examination of what part of the saga is based on historical fact and what part is a fanciful retelling. A thorough examination of the "Vinland Sagas" by scholars seems to support the claim that Norse explorers discovered the New World hundreds of years before Christopher Columbus. The so-called "Vinland Sagas" consist of two independently written sagas, "The Saga of Erik the Red" and "The Saga of the Greenlanders". Preserved in several 14th and 15th century manuscripts, believed to be copies of manuscripts originally penned sometime in the 13th century, the "Vinland Sagas", describe the voyages of Erik the Red and his son Leif Erikson from Norway to Greenland sometime near the end of the 10th century or beginning of the 11th century. This claim is additional supported by contemporary Papal records and the recent archeological discovery of an early 11th century Viking settlement at L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland, Canada. "The Norse Discovery of America" includes a compilation of both these sagas and other important related documents along with extensive scholarly analysis. Students of the history of the discovery of the New World will find this work an invaluable resource on the subject. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Book excerpt: Die Vorträge dieses Bandes gewähren mit Herodot einen Blick auf die Anfänge der antiken Berichte über außergriechische Völker und Länder, lassen teilhaben an der Reise eines Römers in die Vergangenheit und an den legendären Reisen Brendans zur “terra repromissionis” und der Isländer nach “Vinland”. Untersucht werden Erscheinungsformen des Raumes im Pilgerbericht des chinesischen Mönches Xuanzang, Strukturen und Topoi arabischer Reiseberichte und die Sinaibeschreibung des Metropoliten von Rhodos von 1577/92. Ein Forschungsbericht über Palästrina-Pilgerberichte der deutschen Literatur des Mittelalters und der frühen Neuzeit im allgemeinen fehlt genausowenig wie der über dasEvagatorium des Dominikanermönchs Felix Fabri im speziellen. Die Orientreise des Joos van Ghistele, Ludovico de VarthemasItinerar und die wundersamen Reisen des Portugiesen Mendes Pinto im Fernen Osten sind ebenso Themen dieses faszinierenden Tagungsbandes eines interdisziplinären Symposiums aus dem Jahre 1998 wie dieMuscowitische vnd Persische Reise von Olearius und Fleming, ein Kabinettstück des Hofjuweliers Dinglinger aus Gold, Edelsteinen und Perlen, die Weltumsegelung Bougainvilles, SternesSentimental Journey oder Stil und Beobachtung beim reisenden Alexander von Humboldt. Die Untersuchung der Poetik früher chinesischer Berichte von Reisen in den Westen und ein Ausblick in Form von Wünschen an den Reisebericht 2000 schließen den Band, der mit umfangreichem Namen- und Werktitelregister vesehen ist, ab. Die Beiträge dieses Buches verstehen sich als Beisteine zu einer Literaturgeschichte der Reiseberichte und Länderbeschreibungen.

This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this collection examine the connections between the forces of empire and women's lives in the early Americas, in particular the ways their narratives contributed to empire formation. Focusing on the female body as a site of contestation, the essays describe acts of bravery, subversion, and survival expressed in a variety of genres, including the saga, letter, diary, captivity narrative, travel narrative, verse, sentimental novel, and autobiography. The volume also speaks to a range of female experience, across the Americas and across time, from the Viking exploration to early nineteenth-century United States, challenging scholars to reflect on the implications of early American literature even to the present day.
