The first full length scholarly work to focus on the travel ’stunts’ that flourished in England between 1590 and the 1620s, this study shows that the phenomenon of the ’mad voyage’ had deep and diverse roots in traditional travel practices, in courtly play and mercantile custom, and in literary culture. Parr explores the role of these exploits in a world of growing social mobility, increasing tourism, and interest in experiment.
