Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, first published in 1622, by English poet and author John Taylor, humorously describes a dangerous voyage up and down the River Ouse from London to York. His motives were to test the veracity of an account he had been given by another waterman about the journey, and to see York Minster for himself. Taylor's journey is fraught with peril, including violent storms and reckless fellow mariners, and he provides vivid and amusing descriptions of the towns and men he meets along the route. The author's empathetic portrayals of the working-class communities along the river offer valuable and unique historical insights into a world often overlooked by 17th century writers, while his spirited and forthright prose provides a thoroughly entertaining account of a little-documented aspect of early modern travel. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781332909421_0
