Produktbeschreibung
Using feminist and ecocritical approaches alongside recent historical work on early modern trade and commerce, this volume focuses on early modern manuscripts whose travels can be traced from one location to another.

In the process, it offers attention to both the English countryside and the American colonies to expand what is often a London-centered view of English healthcare.
