POESIA DE LA COLONIA
Poets of the New World: Literary and Cultural Transmission in Early Modern Spanish America
Congreso o simposio | Europa - Clare College, Cambridge
November 19-20, 2015
November 19-20, 2015
This symposium brings together scholars from across Europe and the
Americas to address a phenomenon which opens new and varied vistas on
Hispanic colonial culture. Early modern Spanish American poetry (c.
1500-1700) opens new and varied vistas on Hispanic colonial culture.
Whether as material object or performance, a product of the urban space
or the peripheries, prayer or protest, the creation of art forms in
verse was intimately connected with the emergence of American
identities. While manifold networks of interchange connected the
European metropolis to the burgeoning colonies, cross-regional exchanges
were also fruitful.
