Spanish Romance in the Battle for Global Supremacy

Bag om Spanish Romance in the Battle for Global Supremacy

By exploring England's fanatical consumption of the so-called books of the brave conquistadors, this book shows how tales of love and arms mystified global conquest (in such places as Mexico, Peru, Guiana, California, and Australia) and rooted the idea of English empire as a civilized alternative to the cruelty of Spanish conquest.
