However, early modern English versifiers had to reconcile this reality with the classical tradition, in which the British Isles were seen as culturally remote compared to the centrally important Mediterranean of antiquity. This was a struggle for writers not only because they used the classical tradition to legitimate their authority, but also because this image dominated cognitive maps of the oceanic world. As the first study of coastlines and early modern English literature, Dire Straits investigates the tensions of the classical tradition's isolation of the British Isles from the domain of poetry. By illustrating how early modern English writers created their works in the context of a longstanding cultural inheritance from antiquity, Elizabeth Jane Bellamy offers a new approach to the history of early modern cartography and its influences on literature. 606 $aEnglish poetry$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCoasts in literature 606 $aCartography in literature 606 $aLandscapes in literature 607 $aEngland$xIn literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCoasts in literature. 615 0$aCartography in literature. 615 0$aLandscapes in literature. 676 $a821/.30932146 700 $aBellamy$b Elizabeth J$g(Elizabeth Jane),$0968141 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463344003321 996 $aDire straits$92198840 997 $aUNINA
