By consulting rare manuscripts, images, maps, and books, Jonathan Hart explores the relatively neglected empires of Portugal and the Netherlands to draw new conclusions about those of Spain, France, and England (as well as its successor the US). The book ranges from the Portuguese voyages to Africa to the Spanish-American War of 1898 and concentrates on the frictions and shifting rivalries among the empires.

Columbus, Shakespeare, and the Interpretation of the New World explores a range of images and texts that shed light on the complexity of the European reception and interpretation of the New World. Jonathan Hart examines Columbus's first representation of the natives and the New World, the representation of him in subsequent ages, the portrayal of America in sexual terms, the cultural intricacies brought into play by a variety of translators and mediators, the tensions between the aesthetic and colonial in Shakespeare's The Tempest , and a discussion of cultural and voice appropriation that examines the colonial in the postcolonial. This book brings the comparative study of the cultural past of the Americas and the Atlantic world into focus as it relates to the present.

Textual Imitation offers a new critique of the space between fiction and truth, poetry and philosophy. In a nimble, yet startlingly wide-ranging argument, esteemed scholar Jonathan Hart argues that recognition and misrecognition are the keys to understanding texts and contexts from the Old World to the New World. Revealing the underpinnings of mimesis and representation in Aristophanes, Plato, and Aristotle, Hart moves on to show how Spain, France, and England used mimesis in the exploration and settlement of the New World - and how they recognized and misrecognized both these 'new' worlds and the 'old' one they lived in. Concluding with an examination of how modern theorists take up these issues, this study reminds us as the world is ever more globalized, it continually forges typologies of old and new.

The Poetics of Otherness combines two strange yet familiar ideas: meaning-making and the meaning of difference. Using the concept of otherness as an entry point into a discussion of poetry, Jonathan Hart continues his exploration of the role of history and theory in relation to literature and culture. Chapters range from trauma in Shakespeare to Bartolomé de Las Casas' representation of the Americas to the trench poets to voices from the Holocaust. At the heart of this study is works that contend with violence and what beauty and truth poets, poet-soldiers, soldiers, and writers glean in the asymptotic search for expression.
