This retelling of the German sailor's eyewitness account known as the True History shows both why it was so popular at the time and why it remains an important tool for understanding the opening of the Atlantic world. Eve M. Duffy and Alida C. Metcalf carefully reconstruct Staden's life as a German soldier, his two expeditions to the Americas, and his subsequent shipwreck, captivity, brush with cannibalism, escape, and return. The authors explore how these events and experiences were recreated in the text and images of the True History. Focusing on Staden's multiple roles as a go-between, Duffy and Metcalf address many of the issues that emerge when cultures come into contact and conflict. An artful and accessible interpretation, The Return of Hans Staden takes a text best known for its sensational tale of cannibalism and shows how it can be reinterpreted as a window into the precariousness of lives on both sides of early modern encounters, when such issues as truth and lying, violence, religious belief, and cultural difference were key to the formation of the Atlantic world. 606 $aIndians of South America$zBrazil 606 $aTupinamba Indians$xSocial life and customs 607 $aBrazil$xDescription and travel$vEarly works to 1800 607 $aBrazil$vEarly works to 1800 607 $aAmerica$vEarly works to 1800 615 0$aIndians of South America 615 0$aTupinamba Indians$xSocial life and customs. 676 $a980/.01 700 $aDuffy$b Eve M.$0953918 702 $aMetcalf$b Alida C.$f1954- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809306503321 996 $aThe return of Hans Staden$94106347 997 $aUNINA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
