This book scrutinizes literary works based on Judaism, Jews and their descendants, written or printed by the Portuguese, from the forced conversion of Jews in 1497, until the ending of the distinction between New and Old Christians in 1773. It tries to understand what motivated this vast literary production, its different currents, and how they evolved. Additionally, it studies the image of New Christians and seeks the reasons for the perpetuation of this perception of Jewish descendants in the Early Modern Portuguese world. The Imaginary Synagogue seeks to identify which Jews and which ‘synagogue’ those authors constructed in their texts and their reasons for doing so, and offers conclusions on the self-affirmed Catholic importance of this literary current.
First published in 1999, this volume is a collection of papers on Portuguese literature, giving a historical and more updated review. Included are twelve essays presented in chronological order, providing students with a series of assessments and developments.

En 1580, Philippe II revendique l'héritage de la dynastie des Avis, désormais éteinte, et s'empare du trône de Portugal. Pendant soixante ans, les Habsbourg d'Espagne règnent sur un pays qui conserve néanmoins son autonomie juridique. Dans ses causes immédiates, l'avènement en 1640 de la dynastie des Bragance traduit tout d'abord un rejet de la politique menée par le favori de Philippe IV, le comte-duc d'Olivares. Le financement de la guerre de Trente Ans et de l'effort militaire hispanique avait imposé un programme de perception, pour l'ensemble de la Monarchie, qui consacrait le recours au régime de l'extraordinaire et impliquait le recul des juridictions et prérogatives portugaises au profit de l'autorité du roi et de son entourage. L'étude de différents types de textes permet de multiplier les éclairages sur la société portugaise, où la dispersion des sources d'autorité et des modalités d'exercice du pouvoir engendre un véritable kaléidoscope politique, et conduit à s'interroger sur le sens, voire la pertinence, des concepts enchaînes d'État et de Nation à propos de l'histoire politique du premier XVIIe siècle européen.
