商品簡介
Koch describes how Prescott (1796-1859), because of poor health, was unable to follow his prominent Boston father into a lucrative law and business career, so became a man of letters and wrote some of the first substantial modern histories of Spain and the Spanish Empire. He covers Puritan pedigree, worldly views, scholarly pursuits, their Catholic majesties, exceeding all expectations, continuing with the Spanish theme, sudden interest in Mexico, the conquest of Peru, Philip II, and growing health concerns.
