"An admirable piece of scholarship. Nicolopulos's history of these poems' imperialist projects--from their inception to recent critical interpretations--is one fully as engrossing as the poems themselves."
--Anne J. Cruz, University of California, Irvine
"From all points of analysis, The Poetics of Empire constitutes a commendable work of serious scholarship that skillfully vehicles a new appreciation of Renaissance practices of imitation."
--Kathryn Bishop-Sanchez, South Atlantic Review
"It is an important, thorough, Borgesquely instructive mapping of Iberian mantic imperialism in the 1570s, worth close reading itself."
--Fabio Lopez-Lazaro, South Central Review
"Yet for its acuity and rigor of reading, for its thorough accounting of the contours and coordinates of the epic traditions and conventions, for its sustained attention to the details and differentia specifica of the two texts compared, for its demystification of the discursive logic of imperialism, and for its contestation and reformulation of a theory of imitatio, The Poetics of Empire in the Indies can justly be reckoned as an impressive and consequential intervention in the areas of comparative literature, Renaissance studies, and colonial discourse analysis all at once."
--Azfar Hussain, Rocky Mountain Review
"This book is a meticulous and erudite study of Alonso de Ercilla's strategic use of the prestige of Classical and Renaissance texts in the epic poem "La Araucana" to construct a poetics that inscribes the poet's own ventures in colonial Chile within a world-encompassing imperial design commensurate with the imperial pretensions of his king, Philip II."
--Luis Fernando Restrepo, Sixteenth Century Journal
