In terms of its popularity, as well as its production, chocolate
was among the first foods to travel from the New World to Spain.
Chocolate: How a New World Commodity Conquered Spanish Literature
considers chocolate as an object of collective memory used to
bridge the transatlantic gap through Spanish literary works of the
early modern period, tracing the mention of chocolate from
indigenous legends and early chronicles of the conquistadors to the
theatre and literature of Spain. The book considers a variety of
perspectives and material cultures, such as the pre-Colombian
conception of chocolate, the commercial enterprise surrounding
chocolate, and the darker side of chocolate's connections to
witchcraft and sex. Encapsulating both historical and literary
interests, Chocolate will appeal to anyone interested in the global
history of chocolate.
