In this episode, we explore further narratives of encounter in the decades following Columbus' "Letter of Discovery", thinking about how explorers like Sir Francis Drake and his captain might deliver narratives to an eager European marketplace who were beginning to develop expectations and assumptions about what encounters between the old and new worlds looked like. We will also consider the striking absence of indigenous perspectives from these narratives, and puzzle over the elusive line between fact and fiction; story and sales pitch; representation and repression.
