A Companion to Early Modern Lima: Brill's Companions to the Americas, cartea 2

Emily A. Engel
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 iul 2019
A Companion to Early Modern Lima introduces readers to the Spanish American city which became a vibrant urban center in the sixteenth-century world. As part of Brill's Companions to the Americas series, this volume presents current interdisciplinary research focused on the Peruvian viceregal capital. From ancient roots to its foundation by Pizarro, Lima was transformed into an imperial capital positioned between Atlantic and Pacific exchange networks. An international team of scholars examines issues ranging from literary history, politics, and religion to philosophy, historiography, and modes of intercontinental influence. The volume is divided into three sections: urban development and government, society, and culture. The essays collectively represent the scope of contemporary approaches, methodologies, and source materials pertinent to the study of sixteenth-century Lima, a city at the center of global interchange in the early modern world.

Recenzii

This book is a remarkable collection of nineteen essays on colonial Lima, edited by Emily A. Engel for Brill's Companions to the Americas series. Divided into three parts—urban development and government, society, and culture—this is an interdisciplinary exploration of a Habsburg imperial capital, whose cultural, institutional, and economic innovation put it at the center of the early modern world. It is challenging to summarize all the achievements of the essays here, but for scholars interested in early modern and colonial studies, they are all thought provoking and enlightening. […] Altogether, this volume is a great contribution to the field.”
