‘Printers they know none’: The Material Text and Textual Culture in Seventeenth-Century European Travel Writing about Persia
Many European seventeenth-century travellers to Persia observe that the Persians did not produce printed books. The article explores the context for the apparent absence and attempted introduction of printing with movable type in Persia in the seventeenth century and considers the representation of Persian textual culture in European travel writing. European attempts to introduce printing with movable type were unsuccessful due to technological c…

Thou glorious kingdome, thou chiefe of Empires’: Persia in early seventeenth-century travel literature
This article discusses a series of texts by or about travellers to Safavid Persia in the early seventeenth century, and in particular the literature surrounding the Sherley brothers. It looks at the ways in which, in order to encourage support for the voyages they described, English travel writers emphasised the potential for closer Anglo-Persian relations. In doing so, such narratives took advantage of a developing awareness of sectarian divisio…
Knowledge Shall be Increased’: Natural Philosophy and Religion in the Early Modern Utopia
Recent studies of the Renaissance utopia have focused on the importance of historicising utopia and in particular of considering the influence of contemporary developments in science or natural philosophy on the development of utopianism during the period. This article, having assessed the problem of defining the utopia, surveys some of the most prominent examples of the utopian mode of discourse from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries (incl…

Could “Eutopian politics […] never be drawn into use”? Utopianism and radicalism in the 1640s
A utopian moment and a radical one may have coincided in the 1640s, but they were by no means identical. Utopian literature was not only the preserve of 'radicals'; instead, utopian writings permeated and were permeated by wider movements for reform, constituting an important strain of reformist literature which proliferated during this period, even though utopias themselves were not found exclusively helpful by those committed to reform, radical…
An Idea for a Principality’? Encountering the East in Bacon's New Atlantis
In 1605 there appeared in London a small volume entitled Mundus Alter Et Idem Siue Terra Australis ante hac semper incognita longus itineribus pergorini Academici imperrime lustrata. The book claimed to be authored by one 'Mercurius Britannicus' and printed in Frankfurt; it has since been claimed as the work of Joseph Hall, later Bishop of Exeter, then Norwich.1 The title of this satirical utopia, which charts Mercurius's travels through unknown …
