Opis

Examines New World plants - tobacco, amaranth, guaiacum, and the prickly pear cactus - and their associated Native myths as they moved across the Atlantic and into English literature. Edward McLean Test reinstates the contributions of indigenous peoples to European society, charting an alternative cultural history that explores the associations and assemblages of transatlantic multiplicity.
