The Age of Drake
By:
- Synopsis
- THE STORY OF THE GREATEST AGE IN ENGLISH SEA HISTORY“He was himself the leading authority in our generation on Tudor sea-history, the successor to Sir Julian Corbett in the last. He corrects Corbett’s want of perspective and gives us a proportioned and well-balanced account of the whole story. It is, in fact, much the best book on the greatest age in our sea history…. It is written with that spirit, that freshness and enthusiasm which seem always to go with a love of the sea. On almost every aspect of his subject, Dr. Williamson has something new to say or new information to bring forward. His expert knowledge of navigation and Tudor geography illuminate the book throughout.”—A. L. Rowse, The Spectator
