About the book
A study of Brazil during a critical formative period which illuminates the causes of her special historical development within Latin America. Professor Maxwell analyzes the shifting relationships between Portugal, England and Brazil during the second half of the 18th Century. Through his study, Professor Maxwell is concerned with the social, economic and political significance of the events he describes. An important part of this work is a study of the Minas Conspiracy of 1788-89.
First sentence: In late July 1750, amid multifarious relics, lulled by assorted chanting ecclesiastics, Joao V, a moribund Portuguese Roi Soleil at last expired.
