The German Discovery of the World: Renaissance Encounters with the Strange and Marvelous - Studies in Early Modern German History
Christine R. Johnson
Historiography suggests that European nations regarded the New World as an inassimilable ""other"" that posed fundamental challenges to the accepted ideas of Renaissance culture. This work presents an interpretation that emphasizes the ways in which the lands and peoples in Africa, Asia, and the Americas were imagined as comprehensible and familiar.
