Craig Lambert and Steven Mentz on Approaches to Late Medieval and Early Modern Maritime Worlds

Craig Lambert and Steven Mentz discuss their new book, 'The Routledge Companion to Marine and Maritime Worlds, 1400-1800' (edited by Lambert, Mentz, and Prof. Claire Jowitt). They discuss topics including how the volume situates itself in scholarship on the late medieval and early modern oceans, the importance of interdisciplinary approaches in writing about the sea, and the significance of the period 1400-1800 in the history of maritime worlds.
