商品簡介
Most of the contributing historians and scholars of literature are American or British, but they consider the Spanish, French, and especially Dutch as well as British perspectives on Europe's connection to the New World. They consider civilizing society and reconfiguring polities, transferring texts and traditions, the Dutch connection, and power and settlement. Embodying the links they discuss, the 12 essays were narrowly selected from symposia in California and January 2001 and Aberdeen in June 2002.
