AUTHOR

Prescott, William H., Lockhart, James

SUMMARY

"To our modern eyes, it is as much as triumph over the genre as it is a saga of religious imperialism, Hernn Corts' harsh victory over the Aztec nation. In its occasionally stilted and romanticized celebration of heroic figures and its endorsement of the inherent and at times exaggerated drama that shapes the events, the book is certainly a product of its time. In its exhaustive attributions, discursive historiography and refreshingly uneven moral topography, the book is equally a product of Prescott's unique sensibility, which he was astute enough to acknowledge: 'The subversion of a great empire by a handful of adventurers, taken with all its strange and picturesque accompaniments, has the air of romance rather than of sober history, and it is not easy to treat such a theme according to the severe rules prescribed by historical criticism.'"Prescott, William H. is the author of 'History of the Conquest of Mexico', published 2001 under ISBN 9780375758034 and ISBN 0375758038.
