商品簡介
Having more important affairs to attend to at home, the kings of Spain appointed viceregeants to rule the vast Spanish territories in the New World. Much popular opinion and images were produced during the colonial period about them and their power, says Caneque (history and Latin American studies, New York), but little study has been done into the mechanics of viceregal power and its relation to the ideas of kingship. He began that study in his doctoral dissertation (no date or institution noted), which he has revised for publication here. Annotation c2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
