FullerDavid QuintJeffrey KnappLuce GiardMichel de CerteauThe five centuries which have passed since the discovery of the New World have not diminished the overwhelming importance or strangeness of the early encounter between Europeans and native Americans. This collection of essays offers a multidisciplinary approach to this meeting of cultures.The discovery of the Indies, wrote Francisco Lopez de Gomara in 1552, was the greatest event since the creation of the world, excepting the Incarnation and Death of Him who created it. Five centuries have not diminished either the overwhelming importance or the strangeness of the early encounter between Europeans and American peoples. This collection of essays, encompassing history, literary criticism, art history and anthropology, offers a fresh approach to the momentous encounter.Christopher Columbus's "Letter to the Sovereigns": announcing the discovery / Margarita Zamora"Fierce and Unnatural Cruelty": Cortes and the conquest of Mexico / Inga ClendinnenThe negotiation of fear in Cabeza de Vaca's Naufragios / Rolena AdornoIus et Factum: text and experience in the writings of Bartolome de Las Casas / Anthony PagdenDemons, imagination, and the Incas / Sabine MacCormackThe philosopher's breviary: Jean de Lery in the enlightenment / Frank LestringantThe aesthetics of conquest: Aztec poetry before and after Cortes / David DamroschDancing and the sacred in the Andes: from the Taqui-Oncoy to Rasu-Niti / Sara Castro-KlarenThe work of gender in the discourse of discovery / Lois MontroseRalegh's fugitive gold: reference and deferral in The Discoverie of Guiana / Mary C.
