William Hickling Prescott (1796 - 1859) was an American histori…an and Hispanist, who is widely recognized by historiographers to have been the first American scientific historian. Despite suffering from serious visual impairment, which at times prevented him from reading or writing for himself, Prescott became one of the most eminent historians of 19th century America. Prescott specialized in late Renaissance Spain and the early Spanish Empire. His works on the subject, The History of the Reign of Ferdinand and Isabella the Catholic (1837), The History of the Conquest of Mexico (1843), A History of the Conquest of Peru (1847) and the unfinished History of the Reign of Phillip II (1856-1858) have become classic works in the field, and have had a great impact on the study of both Spain and Mesoamerica.

Aggiungi al carrelloHardcover. Condizione: g to vg. New and Revised edition. Large octavo (8 3/4 x 5 3/4"). XXIV, [2], 713, [1]pp. Contemporary full calf school binding, with gold lettering and tooling to spine, and seal of the Bedford School in gilt on front cover. Raised bands. Blind-stamped dentelles. Marbled endpapers and paper edges. Publisher…'s device on title page. Originally published in 1843, "The History of the Conquest of Mexico" is universally considered the author's magnum opus. Indeed, William H. Prescott's sweeping account of Cortés's subjugation of the Aztec people has endured as a landmark work of scholarship and dramatic storytelling. This new and revised edition of the pioneering study presents a compelling view of the clash of civilizations that reverberates in Latin America to this day. All the chief actors of Prescott's great historic drama not only live and breathe, but they are as distinctly differentiated as they must have been in life. After a preliminary view of ancient Mexican civilization, Prescott takes the reader in 1519, the year Cortes embarks from Cuba with the aim of claiming Mexico for Spain. Arriving in the capital, he is made welcome by the divine ruler, Montezuma, and the two men become friends. Montezuma comes to believe that Cortes is, in fact, the ancient Aztec god, Quetzalcoatl. Cortes' attempts to convert Montezuma to Christianity fail. He takes his counterpart prisoner, but within chivalrous limits. The arrival of a new body of Spaniards, seeking to overthrow Cortes, whom they see as a vainglorious rebel, revives the tension. Eventually, Montezuma dies and a fierce, bloody battle ensues. Moderate and sporadic rubbing along edges of binding. Binding in overall good to good+, interior in very good condition.
