“Peter Mancall follows Richard Hakluyt through the crooked streets
and paneled private rooms of late Renaissance London and Paris—and
shows for the first time how this scholar and writer, who rarely
left the south of England, became his country's most eloquent
impresario of travel, trade and colonization.”—Anthony Grafton,
Princeton University

"In this remarkable achievement, Peter Mancall has drawn on
cultural, social, intellectual, and political history to produce an
intellectual biography of extraordinary depth and
luminosity."—Andrew Fitzmaurice, William and Mary Quarterly
*William and Mary Quarterly*
"A thorough, highly readable account of one of the most elusive
players in the early history of English America. Hakluyt's Promise
is certain to be the Elizabethan geographer's definitive biography
for years to come."—Eliga H. Gould, The Journal of American
History
