In the first full-length study of The Isle of Pines (1668), supported by the first fully critical text, Scheckter discloses how Henry Neville's work offers a critique of scientific discourse, enacts complicated engagements of race and gender and interrogates the methods and consequences of European exploration. The volume offers a new critical model for applying post-colonial and postmodern examination strategies to an early modern work.

"The Isle of Pines" is a book by Henry Neville published in 1668. It has been cited as the first 'Robinsonade' before Defoe's work. It is also one of the early Utopian narratives, along with Thomas More's 'Utopia' and Francis Bacon's 'New Atlantis'. The book explores the story of these castaways — the Briton George Pine and four female survivors, who are shipwrecked on an idyllic island. Pine finds that the island produces food abundantly with little or no effort, and he soon enjoys a leisurely existence, engaging in open sexual activity with the four women. Each of the women gives birth to children, who in subsequent generations multiply to produce distinct tribes, which are at war with each other...

At the height of its power and influence in the seventeenth and eighteenth century the VOC - acronym for the United Netherland East India Company - was the greatest commercial concern in the world. The scope of its activities extended from the Cape of Good Hope to Japan. In some aspects, the Baltic trade and the North Sea fisheries were of more fundamental relevance for the economy of the Lowlands. But it was the more spectacular East Indian trade which aroused the admiration and the envy of foreigners, sometimes to the point of war. In this bibliography several topics are covered. Not only technical matters such as the legal status of the VOC, its management, directors and shareholders, but also subjects as voyages, battles, ship building, navigation, geography, natural history, ethnography, mission work, ministration, and many others. With 1674 entries, fully described and fully indexed.

Essays by a group of distinguished historians explore the interaction of liberty, authority and formality across three centuries of conflict and transformation in Europe and the new world. They provide fresh insights into a series of key historical topics, bringing a distinctive and illuminating perspective to the entire field."--BOOK JACKET.

The contributors use literary, historical, anthropological and medical materials to explore an important intersection within the major era of European imperial expansion. The volume looks at: * the conditions of women's writing and the problems of female authorship in the period. * the tensions between recent feminist criticism and the questions of `race', empire and colonialism. *the relationship between the early modern period and post-colonial theory and recent African writing. Women, `Race' and Writing in the Early Modern Period contains ground-breaking work by some of the most exciting scholars in contemporary criticism and theory.
