She showered him with estates and political appointments. He envisioned her becoming empress of a universal empire. She gave him the opportunity to lead the way. In Walter Ralegh, Alan Gallay shows that, while Ralegh may be best known for founding the failed Roanoke colony, his historical importance vastly exceeds that enterprise. Inspired by the mystical religious philosophy of hermeticism, Ralegh led English attempts to colonize in North America, South America, and Ireland. He believed that the answer to English fears of national decline resided overseas -- and that colonialism could be achieved without conquest. Gallay reveals how Ralegh launched the English Empire and an era of colonization that shaped Western history for centuries after his death".--Amazon.com. 505 0 $a Toward an empire -- Annoying the king of Spain : blueprints, legalities, and baby steps -- Ralegh and the Second Desmond War -- "A man noted of not good happ by sea:" Humphrey Gilbert prepares to colonize America -- The case for genocide : George Peckham visualizes colonization -- The courtier -- The cult of Elizabeth -- Planting a New World colony -- Summer of discontent -- Singeing the Spaniard's beard -- A briefe and true report -- Publicizing Ralegh's Virginia -- Fire and smoke : the Hermeticists' Indians -- Planning the Munster plantation -- Bloodlines : Captain Ralegh and the Desmonds -- Ralegh in Youghal -- Preparing the plantation : establishing authority -- Resistance to plantation -- Ralegh's colonists -- The plantation economy -- Of friendship, marriage, and goddesses -- A courtier's disgrace and the shipping of staves -- The search for El Dorado -- The discovery of Guiana -- The benevolent empire -- Wheel of fortune -- Reincarnation : Ireland and the course of colonialism -- Treasons -- The great cordial -- Prince Henry -- History of the world -- "He called to the headman to shew him the ax." 600 10 $a Raleigh, Walter, $c Sir, $d 1552?-1618. 600 17 $a Raleigh, Walter, $c Sir, $d approximately 1552-1618. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01861330 650 0 $a Explorers $z Great Britain $v Biography. 650 0 $a Colonists $z America $v Biography. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $z America $x History $y 16th century. 651 0 $a America $x Colonization. 650 7 $a British colonies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01910374 650 7 $a Colonists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00868479 650 7 $a Colonization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00868483 650 7 $a Explorers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00918556 651 7 $a America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239786 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 648 7 $a 1500-1599 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 4 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20230214011719.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317031613.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20200208010426.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200204023300.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D08EA718471C11EA8C4E586797128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
