Concluding Essay
This concluding essay reflects on the relationship between intellectual life and state building as elucidated by the essays in this special issue on Humanism in Greater Venice. Drawing comparisons with Asian empires and the Hispanic Monarchy (often called the ‘Spanish Empire’) in the Americas and elsewhere, it argues that we must be alive to the precise nature of the state championed by humanist writers and to eschew value‐laden terms that are no…

Polemics, Literature, and Knowledge in Eighteenth-Century Mexico
Since high intellectual history is something of a niche interest compared to ethnohistory and more recently Afro-Latin American history, it is rare for historians of colonial Latin America to place their work in the context of the “Republic of Letters.” This is a pity, since—as this book shows—scholars in the eighteenth-century Viceroyalty of New Spain were, both in practice and in terms of their self-professed identity, members of a distinguishe…
Empire of Eloquence
The global reach of the Spanish and Portuguese empires prompted a remarkable flourishing of the classical rhetorical tradition in various parts of the early modern world. Empire of Eloquence is the first study to examine this tradition as part of a wider global renaissance in Europe, the Americas, Asia and Africa, with a particular focus on the Iberian world. Spanning the sixteenth to the early nineteenth centuries, the book argues that the class…
Late-Humanism and Revolutionary Eloquence
This article reconstructs the context of the first Boston Massacre Oration delivered by James Lovell. It argues that Lovell's rhetorical education and oratorical practice were primarily an offshoot of a classicizing renaissance tradition transmitted by the colonial colleges that faded, blurred and was repurposed in the eighteenth century
Iberian World Empires and the Globalization of Europe 1415–1668
This expansive history of the relationship between early modern globalization and Iberian empire began life as a translation and expansion of the author's 2004 study, Marte contra Minerva: El precio del imperio español, c. 1450–1600. Between then and now, it has blossomed into a new synthesis of the political economy of the Iberian world during its centuries of rapid expansion, geopolitical vigor, and eventual crisis that breaks out of traditiona…
Our Lady of Guadalupe
Originally published in 1995 at the height of the controversy surrounding the beatification (1990) and eventual canonization (2002) of Juan Diego, Stafford Poole's study of the historical evidence in both Spanish and Nahuatl for the apparition of Our Lady of Guadalupe to Juan Diego in 1531 is now available in a revised edition. As well as showing definitively that the standard account of the apparition was an invention of the mid-seventeenth cent…
The Bibliotheca Mexicana Controversy and Creole Patriotism in Early Modern Mexico
This article offers a reassessment of the Bibliotheca Mexicana controversy (ca. 1745–1755), a key moment in the development of “creole patriotism” as most famously articulated by David A. Brading in The First America: The Spanish Monarchy, Creole Patriots, and the Liberal State 1492–1867 (1991). Through a rereading of the original sources and a reconstruction of the historiographical origins of creole patriotism in German existentialism, the arti…
The art of being a colonial letrado
This study treats the social and specifically urban context of late humanism in eighteenth-century Mexico City and New Spain. Through the careful reconstruction of the lives of particular scholars, it argues that the specific configuration of urban space (including colleges, libraries, print shops and personal dwellings) should be taken into account when understanding important monuments in the cultural history of Mexico, like the Bibliotheca Mex…
