这部史诗般的历史比较了西班牙和英国在美洲建立的帝国，从哥伦布到达新大陆到世纪初西班牙殖民统治的结束。J. H.艾略特是当今最杰出、最多才多艺的历史学家之一，他为我们提供了一个宏大的历史，对比了英国和西班牙在他们在北美和南美遭遇和摧毁的文明废墟上建造的世界。艾略特确定并解释了两个帝国的殖民化过程的相似性和差异，他们的殖民社会的特点，他们独特的帝国政府风格，以及反对他们的独立运动。基于对两大大西洋文明历史的广泛阅读，这本书将西班牙和英国殖民帝国置于各自时代的背景下，并为我们提供了对这一双重历史仍影响着美洲的方面的见解。
This epic history compares the empires built by Spain and Britain in the Americas, from Columbus's arrival in the New World to the end of Spanish colonial rule in the early nineteenth century. J. H. Elliott, one of the most distinguished and versatile historians working today, offers us history on a grand scale, contrasting the worlds built by Britain and by Spain on the ruins of the civilizations they encountered and destroyed in North and South America. Elliott identifies and explains both the similarities and differences in the two empires' processes of colonization, the character of their colonial societies, their distinctive styles of imperial government, and the independence movements mounted against them. Based on wide reading in the history of the two great Atlantic civilizations, the book sets the Spanish and British colonial empires in the context of their own times and offers us insights into aspects of this dual history that still influence the Americas.
