Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its original appearance in 1949, Irving A. Leonard's pioneering Books of the Brave has endured as the classic account of the introduction of literary culture to the Spanish New World. Leonard's study documents the works of fiction that accompanied and followed the conquistadores to the Americas and argues that popular texts influenced these men and shaped the way they thought and wrote about their experiences. UC Press's 1992 edition combines Leonard's text with a selection of the documents that were his most valuable sources—nine lists of books destined for the Indies. Containing a wealth of information, these lists provide the documentary evidence for what is perhaps Leonard's greatest contribution: his demonstration that royal and inquisitorial prohibitions failed to control the circulation of books and ideas in colonial Spanish America. Rolena Adorno's introduction reaffirms the lasting value of Books of the Brave and chronicles developments in cultural-historical studies that have shed light on the role of books in Spanish American colonial culture. Adorno situates Leonard's work at the threshold between older, triumphalist views of Spanish conquest history and more recent perspectives engendered by studies of native American peoples. With its rich descriptions of the book trade in both Spain and America, Books of the Brave has much to offer historians as well as literary critics. Indeed, it is a highly readable and engaging book for anyone interested in the cultural life of the New World. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1992.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume discusses, from an historical and literary angle, the ways in which sanctification and the inscription of saintliness take place. Going beyond the traditional categories of canonization, cult, liturgical veneration and hagiographical lives, the work raises fundamental issues concerning definitions of saints and saintliness in a period before the concept was crystallized in canon law. As well as discussing sources and methodology, contributions cover contextual issues, including relics and veneration, life and the afterlife, and examinations of specific sources and texts. Subjects raised include the idea of hagiography as intimate biography, perceptions of holiness in writings by and about female mystics, and bodily aspects of the Franciscan search for evangelical perfection.

Download or read book La vida de san Alejo. Versiones castellanas written by Carlos Alberto Vega and published by Universidad de Salamanca. This book was released on 1991 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pocas leyendas han captado la imaginación del hombre como la historia de San Alejo. Día tras día se sabe más sobre el destino literario y folklórico de esta leyenda en países tan distantes como Checoslovaquia, Inglaterra, Francia, Yugoslavia, Polonia, Italia, Lituania, y Siria. No puede decirse, claro está, que cada refundición de la leyenda constituya una obra maestra de la literatura nacional como en Francia; pero es comúnmente aceptado que el interés por la literatura de San Alejo ha recibido un incremento considerable en muchos países de Europa durante los últimos años. En España, la leyenda de San Alejo gozó de una larga, rica, y, a veces, enigmática trayectoria, que es delineada en las páginas de este estudio. Sin embargo, el destino de las leyendas castellanas sigue siendo un capítulo olvidado de la historia cultural. Es mi convicción más profunda que, al par de otras leyendas en sus manifestaciones castellanas, merece mayor atención de los críticos, no sólo por razones de sus propios valores literarios y folklóricos, sino, sobre todo, por su larga herencia en el romancero, el teatro nacional, y los libros de cordel. Aparentemente, durante los últimos cuarenta años han aparecido sólo dos extensos estudios dedicados al tema del Alejo castellano. El primero fue el importante y fundamental análisis de Marguerete Rosier, «Versiones españolas de la leyenda de San Alejo», Nueva Revista de Filología Hispánica 3 (1949): 326-52. El segundo fue un trabajo mío, «The Old Spanish San Alejo: Horizon of Expectations and Reworkings», en The Philology of the Couple, editado por Lionel J. Friedman, un número especial de la revista French Forum 14 (1989): 459-74. Este último estudio sembró la semilla para la actual monografía. Se espera que esta pequeña obra en que se editan los textos castellanos medievales facilite futuras investigaciones. Ningún trabajo se hace a solas. Aunque sea yo quien saque a la luz este estudio, he contado con la ayuda y valiosos consejos de varios amigos y colegas. Le agradezco a Karl D. Uitti de Princeton University su gran ayuda al facilitarme materiales y, más que nada, haberme inspirado en esta labor. La búsqueda de fondos fue enormemente facilitada por la generosidad de Ángel Gómez Moreno de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid quien me facilitó fichas en proceso de catalogación para la nueva bibliografía de textos medievales españoles (BOOST). Agradezco además, las cordiales atenciones de Julián Abad y María Luisa López Vidriero de la Biblioteca Nacional, Madrid; de Peter Van Wignen de la Library of Congress, Washington, D.C.; y del padre Alonso Turienzo de la Biblioteca del Real Monasterio de El Escorial. Sumamente iluminadoras fueron las sugerencias de la doctora Sybille Jefferis, conocida experta en las versiones alemanas de la leyenda de San Alejo. A mis padres, los doctores José de Jesús Vega y María Luisa Cárdenas de Vega, les agradezco su paciencia incondicional al leer y corregir algunos borradores del presente estudio. A Pedro M. Cátedra de la Universidad de Salamanca le debo las gracias por haber concedido que se den a conocer estos textos como parte de la prestigiosa serie «Textos recuperados» y por sus numerosos y valiosos consejos y sugerencias. A pesar de haber disfrutado de la erudición de tan insignes colegas, toda falta de contenido y estilo se deberá sólo a mis propias limitaciones. Finalmente, conste mi agradecimiento al «Committee on Research in the Humanities» de Princeton University por la beca que me permitió coleccionar algunos textos representados en este trabajo, y al «Committee on Faculty Awards» de Wellesley College por su ayuda con los gastos de la preparación.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a range of synchronic and diachronic case studies in comparative Germanic and Romance morphosyntax. These two language families, spoken by over a billion people today, have played a central role in linguistic research, but many significant questions remain about the relationship between them. Following an introduction that sets out the methodological, empirical, and theoretical background to the book, the volume is divided into three parts that deal with the morphosyntax of subjects and the inflectional layer; inversion, discourse pragmatics, and the left periphery; and continuity and variation beyond the clause. The contributors adopt a diverse range of approaches, making use of the latest digitized corpora and presenting a mixture of well-known and under-studied data from standard and non-standard Germanic and Romance languages. Many of the chapters challenge received wisdom about the relationship between these two important language families. The volume will be an indispensable resource for researchers and students in the fields of Germanic and Romance linguistics, historical and comparative linguistics, and morphosyntax.
