In Mimesis and Empire , first published in 2001, Barbara Fuchs explores the intricate dynamics of imitation and contradistinction among early modern European powers in literary and historiographical texts from sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century Spain, Italy, England and the New World. The book considers a broad sweep of material, including European representations of New World subjects and of Islam, both portrayed as 'other' in contemporary texts. It supplements the transatlantic perspective on early modern imperialism with an awareness of the situation in the Mediterranean and considers problems of reading and literary transmission; imperial ideology and colonial identities; counterfeits and forgery; and piracy. 410 0$aCambridge studies in Renaissance literature and culture ;$v40. 606 $aSpanish literature$yClassical period, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSpanish American literature$yTo 1800$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMimesis in literature 606 $aDifference (Psychology) in literature 615 0$aSpanish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSpanish American literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMimesis in literature. 615 0$aDifference (Psychology) in literature. 676 $a860.9/12 700 $aFuchs$b Barbara$f1970-$0176857 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819691603321 996 $aMimesis and empire$9983069 997 $aUNINA
