Description:
This study examines Hern?n Cort?s, first as the author of Cartas de relaci?n (1519-1526), and then as the protagonist of Francisco L?pez de G?mara's Historia de la conquista de M?xico (1552). It analyzes how these accounts represent his speech acts, including some of his key speeches; how they allow him to define the conquest in different ways to different audiences; and how they represent him as controlling the speech acts of others, most notably those of Moctezuma.
