Shipwreck in the Early Modern Hispanic World, Paperback

Seafaring activity for trade and travel was dominant throughout the Spanish Empire, and in the worldview and imagination of its inhabitants, the spectre of shipwreck loomed large. This volume probes this preoccupation by examining portrayals of nautical disasters in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Spanish literature and culture.
