Contemporaneo de Calderon de la Barca y de Lope de Vega, Antonio Enriquez Gomez, un judaizante espanol, no obtuvo mucha fama hasta estos ultimos anos, a pesar de que varias obras suyas fueron atribuidas, erroneamente, a estos dos dramaturgos celebres. Este estudio fascinante sobre la obra mas conocida de Antonio Enriquez Gomez, El siglo pitagorico y Vida de don Gregorio Guadana, explora varios temas, tendencias y tecnicas literarias. La obra investiga y demuestra la relacion directa entre la vida de nuestro autor judaizante, la sociedad y la Inquisicion del siglo 17, y los movimientos literarios y filosoficos, tal como la picaresca y la filosofia pitagorica de la transmigracion de las almas.
The story of the Marranos (the Jewish converts to Christianity in Spain and Portugal) has long been a source of fascination for Jews interested in their heritage and for all those concerned with the struggle for freedom of conscience against authoritarianism. This book presents selected works of three Marrano poets, together with translations into English and explanatory notes. Each of the poets is introduced with a biography and brief critical assessment. The general introduction provides the historical and literary background of their works and examines the inter-relationship between the Jewish and Christian cultural elements.

Miriam Bodian's study of crypto-Jewish martyrdom in Iberian lands depicts a new type of martyr that emerged in the late 16th century -- a defiant, educated judaizing martyr who engaged in disputes with inquisitors. By examining closely the Inquisition dossiers of four men who were tried in the Iberian peninsula or Spanish America and who developed judaizing theologies that drew from currents of Reformation thinking that emphasized the authority of Scripture and the religious autonomy of individual interpreters of Scripture, Miriam Bodian reveals unexpected connections between Reformation thought and historic crypto-Judaism. The complex personalities of the martyrs, acting in response to psychic and situational pressures, emerge vividly from this absorbing book.
