Imagining the Americas in Print: Books, Maps and Encounters in the Atlantic World. MICHAEL VAN GROESEN. Series: Library of the Written Word - The Handpress World, Volume: 74. Leiden, Boston: Brill, 2019

The book thematizes one of the central issues of transatlantic history—how news and knowledge were circulated and disseminated in a wide variety of print editions and, accordingly, how they formed the European imagination of the Americas. Michiel van Groesen is professor of maritime history at Leiden University and author of The Representations of the Overseas Worlds in the De Bry Collection of Voyages (Leiden: Brill, 2008) and Amsterdam’s Atlantic: Print Culture and the Making of Dutch Brazil (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2017).
