Download or read book "La Música" written by Tomás de Iriarte and published by Juan de la Cuesta Hispanic Monographs. This book was released on 2007 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this first-ever critical edition of La música, Bruce A. Boggs examines the cultural significance of Tomás de Iriarte's poem, taking an interdisciplinary approach that seeks to reconstruct the musical and literary contexts which informed this singular work. Iriarte's La música began as an entertaining project for friends and fellow musicians who gathered in musical tertulias known as Academias de Armonía. Soon, Iriarte would expand his work to five cantos and approximately 2,840 verses which included a prologue and appended notes. La música, which would become Spain's most significant contribution to didactic poetry and one of the few Peninsular works in the eighteenth century that was translated into other European languages, was published in an elegant edition by the Imprenta Real in 1779. Fifteen editions of Iriarte's poem would circulate in Europe and the Americas before the end of the nineteenth century.Through a comprehensive introduction and extensive footnotes, Boggs explores the intersections among genre, theory, and practice where two distinct media-poetry and music-coincide in a text whose purpose is didactic. The critical introduction argues for the uniqueness of the poem in the Spanish and European contexts, its objectives and its timeliness in a period in which the middleclass emerges as consumers of and amateur participants in musical culture. Iriarte's musicianship and his work as a composer; the social meaning of musical practice in eighteenth-century Spain; the junction of aesthetics, music history, theory and practice in the poem; myth, imagery and the pastoral mode; and reception and extant editions of La música are subjects of the remaining sections of the introduction.This project advances our understanding of Tomás de Iriarte's poem, and its relation to works by musical contemporaries J. J. Rousseau, Antonio Rodríguez de Hita, and Antonio Eximeno. Reading La música in the context of the limited Enlightenment program in Spain, and within the period of heightened theoretical speculation about music in Europe, Iriarte emerges as one of Spain's principal apologists for music as a tool for the moral development of the individual and the nation as a whole.

Book Synopsis A New History of Spanish Literature by : Richard E. Chandler
Download or read book A New History of Spanish Literature written by Richard E. Chandler and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 1991-09-01 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1961, A New History of Spanish Literature has been a much-used resource for generations of students. The book has now been completely revised and updated to include extensive discussion of Spanish literature of the past thirty years. Richard E. Chandler and Kessel Schwartz, both longtime students of the literature, write authoritatively about every Spanish literary work of consequence. From the earliest extant writings though the literature of the 1980s, they draw on the latest scholarship. Unlike most literary histories, this one treats each genre fully in its own section, thus making it easy for the reader to follow the development of poetry, the drama, the novel, other prose fiction, and nonfiction prose. Students of the first edition have found this method particularly useful. However, this approach does not preclude study of the literature by period. A full index easily enables the reader to find all references to any individual author or book. Another noteworthy feature of the book, and one omitted from many books of this kind, is the comprehensive attention the authors accord nonfiction prose, including, for example, essays, philosophy, literary criticism, politics, and historiography. Encyclopedic in scope yet concise and eminently readable, the revised edition of A New History of Spanish Literature bids fair to be the standard reference well into the next century.

Book Synopsis The Emerging Female Citizen by : Theresa Ann Smith
Download or read book The Emerging Female Citizen written by Theresa Ann Smith and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2006-05-15 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eighteenth-century Spanish women were not idle bystanders during one of Europe's most dynamic eras. As Theresa Ann Smith skillfully demonstrates in this lively and absorbing book, Spanish intellectuals, calling for Spain to modernize its political, social, and economic institutions, brought the question of women's place to the forefront, as did women themselves. In explaining how both discourse and women's actions worked together to define women's roles in the nation, The Emerging Female Citizen not only illustrates the rising visibility of women, but also reveals the complex processes that led to women's relatively swift exit from most public institutions in the early 1800s. As artists, writers, and reformers, Spanish women took up pens, joined academies and economic societies, formed tertulias—similar to French salons—and became active in the burgeoning public discourse of Enlightenment. In analyzing the meaning of women's presence in diverse centers of Enlightenment, Smith offers a new interpretation of the dynamics among political discourse, social action, and gender ideologies.

Book Synopsis José Artigas and the Federal League in Uruguay’s War of Independence (1810–1820) by : William H. Katra
Download or read book José Artigas and the Federal League in Uruguay’s War of Independence (1810–1820) written by William H. Katra and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-01-31 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a history book that studies the thought and actions of José Gervasio Artigas throughout the decade of his prominence (1810 –1820) as leader of the Federal League, which united his native territory of Uruguay to four neighboring provinces in today’s Argentina. This was the period when the Spanish king’s abdication propelled elites across that country’s former American colonies to hastily construct new local institutions to carry on governing functions and to assure order and stability. Within a few years that new leadership had to do battle against the armies sent by Spain’s new leadership that attempted to reassert its control. In the Banda Oriental—today’s Uruguay—Artigas, with democratic and egalitarian values, enjoyed wide support among the rural poor as well as the landed elite. His military victories over the Spanish, and then his successful defense of provincial autonomy before the imperialist ambitions of Buenos Aires, account for the spread of his influence to neighboring provinces and the creation of the Federal League. His short-term successes infuriated powerful elites in both Buenos Aires and the Portuguese colonies of today’s Brazil. These, allied to the newly potent British empire, then collaborated to bring about his defeat. Artigas’ career, as seen in retrospect, was riddled with contradiction and ambiguity, yet his record of achievements is worthy of remembrance and honor. The book provides information, largely ignored by previous historians, about his important dealings with three central figures in Argentina’s independence movement: Generals Manuel Belgrano. Martín Güemes, and José de San Martín.
