FROM MYTH TO APPROPRIATION: ENGLISH DISCOURSES ON THE STRAITS OF ANIAN (1566–1628)

Résumé

Geographic history is partly a history of literature and of literary myths. Such place names as Drake’s Bay or Juan de Fuca’s Strait on our modern maps bear witness to the imaginary puissance of the Anian myth and the lure of its quest for a generation of cartographers, travellers and travel liars.
