More about the book

Exploring the transformative effects of the discovery of America on European thought, J. H. Elliott examines how traditional European beliefs about geography, theology, and humanity were challenged. The influx of gold and silver from the New World altered global trade dynamics and shifted political power beyond European borders. This reissued classic, coinciding with the 500th anniversary of Columbus's voyage, includes a foreword that highlights its relevance for contemporary readers, emphasizing the interconnectedness of the Old and New Worlds.
