This book takes as its subject 'embedded ethnographies', that is, writings about other cultures that are embedded in works before anthroplogy as a discipline emerged in 19C. These range from the Homeric epic to texts of the Enlightenment and beyond, with a strong focus on the response to the discovery of the Americas in 16C.
