AB As the field of early American literature absorbs the influences of trans-Atlanticand hemispheric models, border zones such as La Florida provide new opportunities forresearch and classroom study. Given this region’s complicated history, however, theliterary history is very difficult to reconstruct. Early descriptions of Florida were writtenin Spanish, French, Portuguese, English, Latin, German, and native languages, and theytook any number of forms, including histories, relaciones, fiction, epic poems, captivityand slave accounts, petitions, diaries, and natural histories. What holds together thisdiverse body of works? Given the range of materials, one pedagogical approach is tofocus on the process of anthologizing itself. Florida offers a test case by which studentsmay replicate the tasks that colonial authors, printers, editors, and anthologists undertookthemselves. It provides a test site for micro-histories that, if completed alongside otherprojects, may be used to redraw the map of colonial American studies.
