Book Synopsis
The impact of Europe on the newly-discovered world of America has long been the subject of historical fascination, yet the impact of that discovery for the conquering powers has received less attention. J. H. Elliott's pioneering 1992 book shows how the encounter with the new world affected Europe intellectually, economically, and politically.
