DOWNLOAD EBOOKSixteenth-century historian Garcilaso Inca de la Vega had a unique view of the ancient Inca Empire and the Americas. A Peruvian mestizo who emigrated to Spain, he was the first writer to envision Latin America as a multiethnic continent, and he advanced a humanist interpretation of New World history that continues to enrich our appreciation of that era. Widely read and translated, Garcilaso is a key figure for understanding the development of mestizo culture in Latin America and his works have sparked many heated debates. This new collection of articles advances that discussion through contributions by twelve distinguished scholars who review central aspects of Garcilaso's life and work from the perspectives of history, linguistics, literary theory, and anthropology. These essays explore the complex intertextual threads which weave through Garcilaso's principal writings. Some examine the relationship of his work with the canon of European historiography, while others stress its link with Andean culture; still others focus on the puzzles presented by his use of self-representation.Many of the articles offer fresh readings of Garcilaso's Royal Commentaries and include not only textual analyses of key themes but also a reassessment of Inca political organization. Other contributions address his Florida of the Inca, focusing on such aspects as its discourse and dating. Together, all the essays demonstrate that Garcilaso scholarship continues to be receptive to new critical approaches. Assembled as a tribute to José Durand, whose life-long study of Garcilaso renewed scholarly understanding of the historian's work, Garcilaso Inca de la Vega is a valuable collection for anyone interested in the history of North and South America or the rise of mestizo culture. It contributes significantly to current studies in multiculturalism as it renews our appreciation for one of its earliest proponents.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book examines the medieval legacy that influences life in Spanish-speaking North America to the present day. Focusing on the period from 1517?the expedition of Hernandez de Cordoba?to the middle of the seventeenth century, Weckmann describes how explorers, administrators, judges, and clergy introduced to the New World a culture that was essentially medieval. That the transplanted culture differentiated itself from that of Spain is due to the resistance of the indigenous cultures of Mexico.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Scholar invoked such formulas as "mere flattery" or "fulsome rhetoric" to dismiss the encomiastic literature or earlier periods as a subject for serious investigation. Recent work on the funeral elegy, the court masque, and the royal entry, however, recognizes the pervasive role of official praise in Renaissance culture. In the case of The Faerie Queene, its encomiastic intention is well known by remains uninvestigated. This study shows how the greatest Elizabethan poems operates, in one of its many functions, as a poem of praise. By analyzing Spenser's often freewheeling adaptation of this epideictic topoi, as well as his inventive use of Tudor political mythology, Renaissance iconology, and imitations of other poets, Mr. Cain demonstrates how the poet has managed a romantic epic to make it function as encomium. Concurrent with the study of praise is the study of the poet in the poem, for wherever encomium is prominent, Spenser reminds us of the encomiast, often in terms that paradoxically assert authorship and disclaim ability. Because Spenser's praise of Elizabeth develops in three stages, this work follows a chronological organization based on three dates: 1579, when The Shepheardes Calender announces a neo-Virgilian poet whose offering of pastoral praise is a pledge of heroic praise to come; 1590, when the first three books of The Faerie Queene fulfill that promise; and 1596, when the last books of the poem show signs of the foundering of praise and the frustration of the poet. The first two chapters explore Spenser's epideictic theory of literature and his advertisement of The Faerie Queene. Three chapters investigate his sanguine, idealistic realization of praise in the poem of 1590 where encomiastic intention motivates each quest, colors the thematic virtue of each book, and peoples the narrative with cult figures of Elizabeth, like Una and Belphoebe, and royal ancestors, like Britomart and Arthur. Two chapters, on the books of 1596, show how Spenser at last obfuscates his poem's encomiastic program, either subverting the queen's praise or diverting encomium to such figures as Essex. By focusing on Elizabeth's praise, this book implicitly rehabilitates the study of political allegory and illuminates a major example of the epideictic phenomena that occur in Renaissance culture when literature and government impinge. It explains on entirely new grounds the changes in the poem between 1590 and 1596. Finally, it examines one of the poem's best-known roles: its declared intention to glorify Elizabeth and her realm." -Publisher.
