The New World in Early Modern Italy, 1492–1750

en Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 noi 2017
Italians became fascinated by the New World in the early modern period. While Atlantic World scholarship has traditionally tended to focus on the acts of conquest and the politics of colonialism, these essays consider the reception of ideas, images and goods from the Americas in the non-colonial states of Italy. Italians began to venerate images of the Peruvian Virgin of Copacabana, plant tomatoes, potatoes, and maize, and publish costume books showcasing the clothing of the kings and queens of Florida, revealing the powerful hold that the Americas had on the Italian imagination. By considering a variety of cases illuminating the presence of the Americas in Italy, this volume demonstrates how early modern Italian culture developed as much from multicultural contact - with Mexico, Peru, Brazil, and the Caribbean - as it did from the rediscovery of classical antiquity.

Recenzii

'The essays cover a variety of topics and amply demonstrate Italian curiosity about the New World. Recommended for Graduate students and faculty.' P. Grendler, Choice
'… engage[s] with scholarship on Mediterranean and world history, contributing to the growing field of a Global Renaissance. Much of this scholarship makes tight connections between the political and trade relationships and the cultural results … The importance of [this volume's] contribution to Global Renaissance scholarship lies in the identification of the New World as a field of engagement and cultural reference point.' Monique O'Connell, European History Quarterly
