| Publisher Description: I, Hern n Cort s: The (Second) Trial of Residency is a literary analysis of the most important documents in the Hern n Cort s trial of residency (juicio de residencia) using some proposed literary tools created for that purpose and the original documents in the Archivo General de Indias in Seville as well as a great variety of books on Hern n Cort s. Francisco Manzo-Robledo reveals how Hern n Cort s re-creates himself, from being the first illegal immigrant in the continent to becoming, for a short time, the highest authority in New Spain before falling into a legal limbo in the Council of Indies. This book is useful in any course dealing with Spanish colonial history or literature. |
