The sixteenth century was a century of radical and traumatic change. Among the most dizzying challenges of those decades was European expansion into new continents: America, Asia and Africa. There were many actors involved in this experience: missionaries, explorers, merchants, soldiers. The privateer Francis Drake embodied many, if not all of these figures: slave trader, warrior in the service of Queen Elizabeth I, fervent Protestant preacher, but also explorer, scientist, geographer, his figure is among the most fascinating in European history.
David Salomoni is a modernist historian; he teaches at the University for Foreigners in Siena.
