Autorenporträt
Richard Carew of Antony (1555-1620), a polymath of considerable acclaim during the Elizabethan era, is primarily renowned for his work 'The Survey of Cornwall'. Born into a wealthy family in Cornwall, England, Carew demonstrated intellectual prowess from an early age, subsequently attending Christ Church, Oxford, before studying at the Middle Temple. His 'The Survey of Cornwall', published in 1602, is celebrated for its comprehensive account of the county's history, geography, and culture, offering an invaluable perspective on Elizabethan society and its intersections with local customs and traditions. Carew's literary style mixes scholarly discourse with personal anecdotes, presenting a rich tapestry of Cornish life that combines detailed observation with narrative charm. As a notable antiquary, his contributions extend beyond literature into the broader realm of early ethnography and historiography. 'The Survey of Cornwall' not only stands as a significant historic document but also reflects the author's deep affinity with his subject matter, establishing Carew as a pioneering figure in the early development of regional English history and topographical writing.
