Meer over het boek

Focusing on literary interpretations of historical conversion sites, this collection features thirteen essays that span from the Renaissance to modern times. It examines the works of various authors, including Beaumont and Fletcher, Lope de Vega, and Rigoberta Menchu, exploring the intentions of missionaries and their perceptions in different cultural contexts. The essays offer a critical analysis of how these narratives reflect the complexities of conversion and cultural exchange throughout history.
