The origins of the Spanish novel date back to the early picaresque novels and Don Quixote, in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and the history of the genre in Spain presents the reader with such iconic works as Galdós's Fortunata and Jacinta, Clarín's La Regenta, or Unamuno's Mist. A History of the Spanish Novel traces the developments of Spanish prose fiction in order to offer a comprehensive and detailed account of this important literary tradition. It opens with an introductory chapter that examines the evolution of the novel in Spain, with particular attention to the rise and emergence of the novel as a genre, during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and the bearing of Golden-Age fiction in later novelists of all periods. The introduction contextualises the Spanish novel in the circumstances and milestones of Spain's history, and in the wider setting of European literature. The volume is comprised of chapters presented diachronically, from the sixteenth to the twenty-first century and others concerned with specific traditions (the chivalric romance, the picaresque, the modernist novel, the avant-gardist novel) and with some of the most salient authors (Cervantes, Zayas, Galdós, and Baroja). A History of the Spanish Novel takes the reader across the centuries to reveal the captivating life of the Spanish novel tradition, in all its splendour, and its phenomenal contribution to Western literature.

Este volumen ofrece el primer estudio monogr©Łfico sobre uno de los poetas m©Łs citados y peor conocidos del barroco espa©łol: Francisco de Borja, pr©Ưncipe de Esquilache. Sus Obras en verso, publicadas por primera vez en 1648, constituyen uno de los proyectos laureados m©Łs elaborados y conscientes de la primera mitad del XVII. No s©đlo se trata de uno de los pocos cancioneros barrocos espa©łoles curados y editados por su propio autor, sino tambi©♭n del primer volumen de poes©Ưa dado a la imprenta por un miembro de la alta aristocracia castellana. En ©♭l, y desde la distancia de los a©łos y la poes©Ưa, el pr©Ưncipe de Esquilache recrea e instrumentaliza su estrecha relaci©đn con desos miembros de la rep©ðblica barroca de las letras [desde Lope de Vega a los Argensola o los condes de Lemos], individualiza su posici©đn con respecto a la pol©♭mica gongorina, a la vez que justifica sus a©łos de servicio pol©Ưtico a la corona o su derecho leg©Ưtimo al t©Ưtulo de Grande.Desde una perspectiva socioliteraria, este estudio propone la recuperaci©đn de las Obras de Esquilache como pieza clave para la comprensi©đn del papel del amateurismo aristocr©Łtico en la formaci©đn del campo literario barroco espa©łol.

This book offers the first systematic analysis of the cultural and religious appropriation of Andalusian architecture by Spanish historians during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. To date this process of Christian appropriation has generally been discussed as a phenomenon of architectural hybridisation. However, this was a period in which the construction of a Spanish national identity became a key focus of historical discourse. As a result, cultural hybridity encountered partial opposition from those seeking to establish cultural and religious homogeneity. Spain's Islamic past became a major concern in this period and historical writing served as the site for a complex negotiation of identity. Historians and antiquarians used a range of strategies to re-appropriate the meaning of medieval Islamic heritage as befitted the new identity of Spain as a Catholic monarchy and empire. On the one hand, the monuments' Islamic origin was subjected to historical revisions and re-identified as Roman or Phoenician. On the other hand, religious forgeries were invented that staked claims for buildings and cities having been founded by Christians prior to the arrival of the Muslims in Spain. Islamic stones were used as core evidence in debates that shaped the early development of archaeology, and they also became the centre of a historical controversy about the origin of Spain as a nation as well as its ecclesiastical history.

A book about life in Spain from the succession of Philip II (1556) to the death of Philip IV (1665). The author relies primarily upon careful use of literary works and travel accounts written during this 'golden age'. In addition to delightful descriptions and anecdotes, he has woven into his text important political and economic developments. He provides a general view of Spain, stressing the importance of the Catholic faith and the emphasis upon personal honour, before surveying life and society in urban and rural areas. He then examines in some detail life in the Church, university, military and home; public entertainment; and the picaresque life.
