'Hart breaks new ground in exploring the ways in which the initial success of the Spanish in the new World set the agenda for the successive French and British attempts to create empires for themselves in the Atlantic. This is the largely untold story of the intellectual and ideological 'Scramble for America'. It is told with elegance, subtlety, and remarkable erudition by an author who brings to his readings of a complex body of texts the techniques of both the literary critic and the cultural historian. It will change the way we think about the first European overseas empires.' - Anthony Pagden, Harry C. Black, The Johns Hopkins University
