Produktbeschreibung
This original and lucidly written book introduces the reader to the Baroque, the richest period of Spanish literature and culture, considering in detail works by the major novelists, dramatists, poets, and painters. Part of its novel approach is the attention the author gives to key issues such as honour and identity, the influence of social and literary institutions like the court and the church, and the place of women as both creators and consumers of culture. It also considers neglected literary forms, such as the aphorism and the emblem, as well as the immensely popular and influential political and moral writings of the day. A comprehensive glossary to major and minor figures is included.
