Book Synopsis The Unrecognized Precursors of Montemayor's Diana by : Elizabeth Rhodes
Download or read book The Unrecognized Precursors of Montemayor's Diana written by Elizabeth Rhodes and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jorge de Montemayor was one of the most popular and influential writers of the Spanish Golden Age. Author of the Diana, Spain's first pastoral narration, Montemayor was among the most published authors of his time and had among his followers such important writers as Miguel de Cervantes, Honore d'Urfe, and Sir Philip Sidney. In this radical reevaluation of the Diana, Elizabeth Rhodes proposes to bring Montemayor's writings, and those ideologically similar to them, closer to the modern reader by redefining and exploring the context in which his book was conceived and universally applauded. Rhodes challenges the traditional critical approach to the Diana by removing Montemayor's works from the shadow of the classical and humanistic traditions to reexamine them in the broader context of the spiritual environment in which Montemayor lived and wrote. Renaissance scholars have long ignored Montemayor's devotional writings when analyzing the Diana, but Rhodes reveals how the author's religious vision illuminates his pastoral narration and provides the missing link between his works and the acclaim they earned from his contemporaries. She examines the Diana in its full historical and cultural contexts and acknowledges Montemayor's religious works as the unrecognized precursors of his Diana. This reinterpretation harmonizes the Diana with its author's other writings and accounts for issues left unresolved by previous approaches to the text. It also explains the book's extraordinary success in its own day and the multitude of imitations it inspired, as well as modern readers' difficulties in appreciating it. The Unrecognized Precursors of Montemayor's Diana will be of interest to specialists inGolden Age Spanish literature, as well as to classical and Renaissance scholars dedicated to the study of the pastoral, early modern forms of narrative, and the relationship between religious writing and fiction.

Download or read book Cervantes written by Dominick L. Finello and published by Tamesis. This book was released on 1998 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cervantes' work closely analysed for evidence of his attitude to academic life and to conversos, and his responses to technical challenges. A number of longstanding polemical issues related to Cervantes' life and creativity are closely examined here, throwing new light on his work as a whole. The book begins by exploring Cervantes' complex and ambivalent attitude towards academic life, which yielded comic portraits of students and many parodies of the academic tendencies of false praise, pedantry and pompousness. It goes on to consider the impact of the converso, or New Christian, on Spanish collective thinking, and Cervantes and Lope de Vega in particular; Old Christian versus New Christian rhetoric frequently determines the expression of such characters as Sancho Panza. An analysis of Cervantes' controversialinterpolation of stories in the first part of Don Quijote follows, and Professor Finello concludes by looking at the enigmatic discourse and dialogue of Don Quijote himself, elegant and harmonious despite the knight's apparent madness, arguing that since Quijote believes he is justified in imposing his chivalric values upon those who come into contact with him, he adjusts the situations in which he finds himself to the appropriate rhetoric of literary tradition. DOMINICK FINELLO is Professor of Spanish at Rider University.
Book Synopsis The Mystical Science of the Soul by : Jessica A. Boon
Download or read book The Mystical Science of the Soul written by Jessica A. Boon and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2012-12-07 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mystical Science of the Soul explores the unexamined influence of medieval discourses of science and spirituality on recogimiento, the unique Spanish genre of recollection mysticism that served as the driving force behind the principal developments in Golden Age mysticism. Building on recent research in medieval optics, physiology, and memory in relation to the devotional practices of the late Middle Ages, Jessica A. Boon probes the implications of an ‘embodied soul’ for the intellectual history of Spanish mysticism. Boon proposes a fundamental rereading of the key recogimiento text Subida del Monte Sión (1535/1538), which melds the traditionally distinct spiritual techniques of moral self-examination, Passion meditation, and negative theology into one cognitively adept path towards mystical union. She is also the first English-language scholar to treat the author of this influential work – the Renaissance physician Bernardino de Laredo, a pivotal figure in the transition from medieval to early modern spirituality on the Iberian peninsula and a source for Teresa of Avila’s mystical language.
Book Synopsis Imagining Arcadia in Renaissance Romance by : Marsha S. Collins
Download or read book Imagining Arcadia in Renaissance Romance written by Marsha S. Collins and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-22 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Theocritus’ Idylls to James Cameron’s Avatar, Arcadia remains an enduring presence in world culture and a persistent source of creative inspiration. Why does Arcadia still exercise such a powerful pull on the imagination? This book responds by arguing that in sixteenth-century Europe, a dramatic shift took place in imagining Arcadia. The traditional visions of Arcadia collided and fused with romance, the new experimental form of prose fiction, producing a hybrid, dynamic world of change and transformation. Emphasizing matters of fictional function and world-making over generic classification, Imagining Arcadia in Renaissance Romance analyzes the role of romance as a catalyst in remaking Arcadia in five, canonical sixteenth-century texts: Sannazaro’s Arcadia; Montemayor’s La Diana; Cervantes’ La Galatea; Sidney’s Arcadia; and Lope de Vega’s Arcadia. Collins’ analyses of the re-imagined Arcadia in these works elucidate the interplay between timely incursions into the fictional world and the timelessness of art, highlighting issues of freedom, identity formation, subjectivity and self-fashioning, the intersection of public and private activity, and the fascination with mortality. This book addresses the under-representation of Spanish literature in Early Modern literary histories, especially regarding the rich Spanish contribution to the pastoral and to idealizing fiction in the West. Companion chapters on Cervantes and Sidney add to the growing field of Anglo-Spanish comparative literary studies, while the book’s comparative and transnational approach extends discussion of the pastoral beyond the boundaries of national literary traditions. This book’s innovative approach to these fictional worlds sheds new light on Arcadia’s enduring presence in the collective imagination today.

Download or read book God Made Word written by Dale Shuger and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Golden Age of Spanish mysticism has traditionally been read in terms of individual authors or theological traditions. God Made Word, however, considers early modern Spanish mysticism as a question of language and as a discourse that circulated in concrete social, institutional, and geographic spaces. Proposing a new reading of early modern Spanish mysticism, God Made Word traces the struggles over the representation of interiorized spiritual union – the tension between making it known and conveying its unknowability – far beyond the usual canon of mystic literature. Dale Shuger combines a study of genres that have traditionally been the object of literary study, including poetry, theatre, and autobiography, with a language-based analysis of other areas that have largely been studied by historians and theologians. Arguing that these generic separations grew out of an increasing preoccupation with the cultivation and control of interiorized spirituality, God Made Word shows that by tracing certain mystic representations we come to understand the emergence of different discursive rules and expectations for a wide range of representations of the ineffable.

Book Synopsis Approaches to Teaching Teresa of Ávila and the Spanish Mystics by : Alison Weber
Download or read book Approaches to Teaching Teresa of Ávila and the Spanish Mystics written by Alison Weber and published by Modern Language Association of America. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The writings of Teresa of Ávila and the Spanish mystics, most notably John of the Cross and Luis de León, aroused passionate responses when they were composed. Though today's students realize that religious beliefs have wide-ranging consequences, they are presented with particular challenges in studying the Spanish mystics because of their unfamiliarity with the linguistic, social, and religious history of early modern Spain. This volume is designed to help instructors elicit students' curiosity, sympathy, and appreciation for writings that can at first seem alien or confusing. Part 1, "Materials," recommends accessible editions and translations; print, electronic, and visual resources; background and critical studies; and sources on the philosophical and theological responses to the Spanish mystics. Part 2, "Approaches," presents methods for teaching the historical contexts of and various theoretical perspectives on the mystics' works. Contributors consider these authors in relation to Islamic and Jewish mysticism, the traditions of women's writing, feminism, theology, and autobiography. They also recommend ways to teach particular texts in different kinds of courses and institutions.
