This study proposes to examine the historical ramifications of exoticism from a critical reading of the General History of the Antilles (1654 / 1667-71) written by the Dominican missionary, Jean-Baptiste Du Tertre. Proceeding from a literary analysis, our study suggests a reconfiguration of exoticism based both on contemporary theorizing and on the historical context and aesthetics of the time. Our work is therefore both theoretical by offering a critical analysis of the different orientations of exoticism; and historical, by presenting an in-depth reading of a work of considerable importance both for the history of French and West Indian literature and for the history of anthropology. In this regard, this study will also provide an exploration of the very first French colonization of the islands and how it was represented. This book examines the historical ramifications of the concept of exoticism through a literary analysis of Histoire générale des Antilles (1654 / 1667-71) written by Dominican missionary Jean-Baptiste Du Tertre.

Controversial poetry played a crucial role in dealing with religious, political, and scholarly conflicts from 1400 until 1625. This volume analyses roles and functions of Latin, Italian, Dutch, German, Scots, and Hungarian poetry in specific historical controversies. A media theory of poetical impact is proposed by Franz-Josef Holznagel and Dieuwke van der Poel. Levente Seláf, Philipp Steinkamp, and Guillaume van Gemert examine the genres sung in wars, and in rulers’ controversies. Judith Keßler, Dirk Coigneau, Juliette Groenland, and Regina Töpfer analyse how female and male rhetoricians and humanists use verse in religious, municipal, and educational conflicts. Signe Rotter-Broman, Samuel Pakucs Willcocks†, and Alasdair MacDonald explain how reception strategies can shape cultural and political identities.
