Description:In The Epic of Juan Latino, Elizabeth R. Wright tells the story of Renaissance Europe s first black poet and his epic poem on the naval battle of Lepanto, Austrias Carmen (The Song of John of Austria).Piecing together the surviving evidence, Wright traces Latino s life in Granada, Iberia s last Muslim metropolis, from his early clandestine education as a slave in a noble household to his distinguished career as a schoolmaster at the University of Granada. When intensifying racial discrimination and the chaos of the Morisco Revolt threatened Latino s hard-won status, he set out to secure his position by publishing an epic poem in Latin verse, the Austrias Carmen, that would demonstrate his mastery of Europe s international literary language and celebrate his own African heritage.Through Latino s remarkable, hitherto untold story, Wright illuminates the racial and religious tensions of sixteenth-century Spain and the position of black Africans within Spain s nascent empire and within the emerging African diaspora."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
