Indians, Cannibals, and Barbarians: Hernán Cortés and Early Modern Cultural Relativism
The little-known body of texts written by humanists in the wake of Christopher Columbus's first voyage across the Atlantic Ocean (1492-93) draws upon classical and ecclesiastical teachings in regard to political existence and Christian evangelization to set forth a nuanced understanding of the difference between pernicious and innocuous forms of barbarism. Although both forms of barbarism are grounded in deficiencies, these texts laud the inheren…

Free Will, the Picaresque, and the Exemplarity of Cervantes's Novelas ejemplares
Free Will, the Picaresque, and the Exemplarity of Cervantes's Novelas ejemplares David A. Boruchoff Although my subject is the Christian doctrine of free will and its importance in the revision of the picaresque at the hands of Miguel de Cervantes and others of his generation, rather than the theme of freedom more generally, I would begin by noting that freedom was a multifaceted and often polemical concern in early modern Europe. In this, it dif…
Piety, Patriotism, and Empire: Lessons for England, Spain, and the New World in the Works of Richard Hakluyt
This essay examines the didactic intent of historical works that modern critics, under the influence of a later, especially Victorian, view of English history, have construed as unalloyed propaganda for Protestant England in the pursuit of empire and in its rivalry with Catholic Spain. Careful analysis of the editorial practices of Richard Hakluyt (ca. 1552–1616) reveals that he and others of his generation instead employed patriotic conceits, su…

New Spain, New England, and the New Jerusalem: The "Translation" of Empire, Faith, and Learning ( translatio imperii, fidei ac scientiae ) in the Colonial Missionary Project
New Spain, New England, and the New JerusalemThe "Translation" of Empire, Faith, and Learning (translatio imperii, fidei ac scientiae) in the Colonial Missionary Project David A. Boruchoff (bio) In religion, as in love, the burden of disillusion is most difficult to bear when it results, not from doubt as to the preeminence of one's objectives and aspirations, but instead from the sense that one cannot achieve them. Hope is a terrible thing to lo…

On the Place of Madness, Deviance, and Eccentricity in Don Quijote
To understand the concept of present in Don Quijote de la Mancha, one must examine the discourse, topography and institutions with which it found expression in traditional culture, since it was the impression of ill-being or in-sanity, rather than a finding of dementia or psychosis in clinical terms, that defined the madman for Cervantes and his contemporaries. Consigned to the frontier between the walls of the medieval city and the perils of the…
