Authority, Piracy, And Captivity In Colonial Spanish American Writing: Juan De Castellanos's Elegies Of Illustrious Men Of The Indies - 9781611487183

This book studies the practice of poetic imitation and the themes of authority, piracy, and captivity in Juan de Castellanos's Elegies of Illustrious Men of the Indies. The book offers a novel interpretation of the relationship between Castellanos's poems and Alonso de Ercilla's the Araucana and elucidates the complex poetic discourse Castellanos created to defend the interest of the first generation of Spanish explorers and conquistadors that settled in the New World in the sixteenth century.
