Amazons, Savages, And Machiavels by Andrew Hadfield
A critical study of how English Renaissance literature and travel narratives shaped and were shaped by the era’s encounters with foreign peoples and new political ideas. Through analyses of chronicles, plays, and poems from the mid-sixteenth to early seventeenth centuries, it traces how figures like the Amazon, the “savage,” and the Machiavel articulated anxieties about gender, civility, and authority while helping forge national and imperial identities. It argues that contact with newly imagined worlds and realist political thought reframed domestic debates about ethics, governance, and conquest.
