The Discovery of Guiana
3
The Discovery of Guiana is a book by Sir Walter
Raleigh, who wrote this account one year after
his 1595 journey to Guiana, the Venezuelan region
of Guayana. He also visited Trinidad. The book
includes some material of a factual nature, but
postulates the existence of a gold-rich
civilisation or El Dorado on the basis of little
evidence. After enjoying several years of high
esteem from Queen Elizabeth I, which stemmed in
part from his previous exploits at sea, Raleigh
suffered a short imprisonment for secretly
marrying one of the Queen's ladies-in-waiting.
In an attempt to bring himself back into favor,
Raleigh sailed to Guiana in 1595, hoping to find
gold and other material to exchange or extort.
One contemporary scholar remarks of this
journey, Although the expedition itself was
hardly a success8212Raegh conquered no lands,
found no stores of wealth, and discovered little
not observed by earlier adventurers8212hecreate
d a triumph for himself by publishing The
Discovery.
