Nadia R. Altschul combs Bello's study of the poem and finds throughout it evidence of a "coloniality of knowledge." Altschul reveals how, during the nineteenth century, the framework for philological scholarship established in and for core European nations-France, England, and especially Germany-was exported to Spain and Hispanic America as the proper way of doing medieval studies. She argues that the global designs of European philological scholarship are conspicuous in the domain of disciplinary historiography, especially when examining the local history of a Creole Hispanic American like Bello, who is neither fully European nor fully alien to European culture. Altschul likewise highlights Hispanic America's intellectual internalization of coloniality and its understanding of itself as an extension of Europe. A timely example of interdisciplinary history, interconnected history, and transnational study, Geographies of Philological Knowledge breaks with previous nationalist and colonialist histories and thus forges a new path for the future of medieval studies. 606 $aPhilology$zLatin America$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aMedievalism$zLatin America$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aMiddle Ages$xStudy and teaching$zLatin America$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aPostcolonialism$zLatin America 606 $aEpic literature, Spanish$zLatin America$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aPhilology$xHistory 615 0$aMedievalism$xHistory 615 0$aMiddle Ages$xStudy and teaching$xHistory 615 0$aPostcolonialism 615 0$aEpic literature, Spanish$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a409.2 700 $aAltschul$b Nadia$01760638 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818751503321 996 $aGeographies of philological knowledge$94199710 997 $aUNINA
