Book The Spacious Word

    Book Details:
  • Author : Ricardo Padrón
  • Publisher : University of Chicago Press
  • Release : 2021-09-26
  • ISBN : 0226821196
  • Pages : 302 pages

Download or read book The Spacious Word written by Ricardo Padrón and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2021-09-26 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spacious Word explores the history of Iberian expansion into the Americas as seen through maps and cartographic literature, and considers the relationship between early Spanish ideas of the world and the origins of European colonialism. Spanish mapmakers and writers, as Padrón shows, clung to a much older idea of space that was based on the itineraries of travel narratives and medieval navigational techniques. Padrón contends too that maps and geographic writings heavily influenced the Spanish imperial imagination. During the early modern period, the idea of "America" was still something being invented in the minds of Europeans. Maps of the New World, letters from explorers of indigenous civilizations, and poems dramatizing the conquest of distant lands, then, helped Spain to redefine itself both geographically and imaginatively as an Atlantic and even global empire. In turn, such literature had a profound influence on Spanish ideas of nationhood, most significantly its own. Elegantly conceived and meticulously researched, The Spacious Word will be of enormous interest to historians of Spain, early modern literature, and cartography.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An introduction to the world of Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935), a fascinating and complex figure in European literary modernism and avant-garde.
