Chivalric romance assumed a leading role in 16th-18th-century Iberian prose. This book examines the Memorial das Proezas da Segunda Távola Redonda (1567) from the theoretical perspective of memory studies. By analyzing transtextual relations and textual representations of memory, it shows how Jorge Ferreira de Vasconcelos' text should be read both as a product and a generator of 16th-century literary and cultural memory.
"A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula" is the second comparative history of a new subseries with a regional focus, published by the Coordinating Committee of the International Comparative Literature Association. As its predecessor for East-Central Europe, this two-volume history distances itself from traditional histories built around periods and movements, and explores, from a comparative viewpoint, a space considered to be a powerful symbol of inter-literary relations. Both the geographical pertinence and its symbolic condition are obviously discussed, when not even contested.Written by an international team of researchers who are specialists in the field, this history is the first attempt at applying a comparative approach to the plurilingual and multicultural literatures in the Iberian Peninsula. The aim of comprehensiveness is abandoned in favor of a diverse and extensive array of key issues for a comparative agenda."A Comparative History of Literatures in the Iberian Peninsula" undermines the primacy claimed for national and linguistic boundaries, and provides a geo-cultural account of literary inter-systems which cannot otherwise be explained.

Como contrapartida ao discurso primário elaborado pelo monarca, foi considerada também a tratadística nobiliárquica pertencente ao início do século XIV. A obra evidencia que, ao inserir a cavalaria no sistema de pensamento político ...

Esta obra es una de las creaciones más singulares de la literatura castellana de la edad media. Zifar y sus libros: 500 años es el tercer volumen de una serie que, con motivo de los quintos centenarios de la primera impresión de distintos libros de caballerías, busca generar monográficos especializados de alto nivel que reflexionen sobre los numerosos atractivos y misterios que nos ofrece este género literario. Se va consolidando así la serie que comenzó con Amadís y sus libros: 500 años (2008) y continuó con Palmerín y sus libros: 500 años (2011), publicados por El Colegio de México.
