The epic poems written during the rise of Portugal and Spain on the
global stage often dealt with topics quite unimaginable to the
likes of Virgil or Homer. These poems reveal the astounding
opportunities for upward social mobility and self-promotion
afforded by broader access to print and the vast amount of
knowledge and material wealth accrued through maritime exploration.
Iberian poets of the period were quite cognizant of their ventures
into uncharted territory, and that awareness informed their
literary journeys. The War Trumpet features nine substantial essays
that expand our understanding of Iberian Renaissance epic poetry by
posing questions seldom raised in relation to poems such as La
Araucana, Os Lusiadas, Carlo famoso, El Bernardo, Arauco Domado,
Espejo de paciencia, and Felicissima Victoria, among others.
Particularly compelling are questions concerned with early modern
understandings of the natural world, the practice of poetic
imitation, the discipline of cartography, or the reception of
Petrarchism in the newly established viceroyalties of the New
World. Fostering a greater appreciation of the intersection between
poetry, war, and exploration, The War Trumpet sheds light on the
transformative changes that took place during the period of Iberian
expansion.
