Letters From Mexico

Hernan Cortes`s Cartas de Relacion, written over a seven-year period to Charles V of Spain, provide an extraordinary narrative account of the conquest of Mexico from the founding of the coastal town of Veracruz until Cortes`s journey to Honduras in 1525. Pagden`s English translation has been prepared from a close examination of the earliest surviving manuscript and of the first printed editions, and he also provides a new introduction offering a bold and innovative interpretation of the nature of the conquest and Cortes`s involvement in it. J. H. Elliot`s introductory essay explains Cortes`s conflicts with the Crown and with Diego Velazquez, the governor of Cuba.
