The book examines the dynamics of imitation among early modern European powers through literary and historiographical texts from the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, focusing on Spain, Italy, England, and the New World. It addresses European depictions of New World subjects and Islam, enriching the understanding of early modern imperialism with insights from the Mediterranean context. Key themes include literary transmission, imperial ideology, colonial identities, and issues of counterfeits and piracy, providing a comprehensive view of cultural exchanges during this period.
