Beyond the Reconquista: New Directions in the History of Medieval Iberia (711-1085)
Beyond the Reconquista: New Directions in the History of Medieval Iberia (711-1085) offers an exciting series of essays by leading scholars in Hispanic Studies from across North America and Europe. At its heart is the Reconquista, without doubt the most important and enduring theme of Iberian historiography of the Middle Ages. The innovative studies collected herein, which treat a diverse array of subjects via forensic analyses of charters, chronicles and coins, shed new light on crucial aspects of medieval Iberian socio-economic, political and cultural history. The result is a collection of essays which marks a decisive and bold turning of the page in Iberian medieval studies, as the reality and ideal of Reconquest come under hitherto unparalleled scrutiny. Contributors are Graham Barrett, Jeffrey Bowman, Alberto Canto, Nicola Clarke, Wendy Davies, Julio Escalona, Jonathan Jarrett, Eduardo Manzano Moreno, Iñaki Martín Viso and Lucy K. Pick.

El enigma resuelto del Quijote
Este libro responde a un deseo explícito de Cervantes: que contendamos por averiguar cual es el “lugar de la Mancha” de cuyo nombre no quiso acordarse. De ahí que, cuando un grupo multidisciplinar de la Universidad Complutense logró desentrañar el misterio, no fueron pocos los cervantistas que, por unas u otras causas, pusieron en duda la veracidad del descubrimiento en base sobre todo a la supuesta inconsistencia geográfica que mostraba el relato del Quijote. Conscientes de las reticencias surgidas, y a pesar de la metodología científica empleada, los autores de la investigación han querido zanjar la polémica invitando a los críticos a explicar y demostrar el fundamento de las...
The Conversos and Moriscos in Late Medieval Spain and Beyond
Converso and Morisco are the terms applied to those Jews and Muslims who converted to Christianity in large numbers and usually under duress in late Medieval Spain. The Converso and Morisco Studies series examines the implications of these mass conversions for the converts themselves, for their heirs (also referred to as Conversos and Moriscos) and for Medieval and Modern Spanish culture. As the essays in this collection attest, the study of the Converso and Morisco phenomena is not only important for those scholars focusing on Spanish society and culture, but for all academics interested in questions of identity, Otherness, nationalism, religious intolerance and the challenges of modernity. Contributors: Luis F. Bernabé Pons, Michel Boeglin, Stephanie M. Cavanaugh, William P. Childers, Carlos Gilly, Kevin Ingram, Nicola Jennings, Patrick J. O’Banion, Francisco Javier Perea Siller, Mohamed Saadan, and Enrique Soria Mesa.
