Widely read and translated, Garcilaso is a key figure for
understanding the development of mestizo culture in Latin America
and his works have sparked many heated debates. This new collection
of articles advances that discussion through contributions by
twelve distinguished scholars who review central aspects of
Garcilaso's life and work from the perspectives of history,
linguistics, literary theory, and anthropology. These essays
explore the complex intertextual threads which weave through
Garcilaso's principal writings. Some examine the relationship of
his work with the canon of European historiography, while others
stress its link with Andean culture; still others focus on the
puzzles presented by his use of self-representation. Many of the
articles offer fresh readings of Garcilaso's Royal Commentaries and
include not only textual analyses of key themes but also a
reassessment of Inca political organization. Other contributions
address his Florida of the Inca, focusing on such aspects as its
discourse and dating. Together, all the essays demonstrate that
Garcilaso scholarship continues to be receptive to new critical
approaches.
