The Return of Astraea
In classical mythology Astraea, the goddess of justice, chastity, and truth, was the last of the immortals to leave Earth with the decline of the ages. Her return was to signal the dawn of a new Golden Age. This myth not only survived the Christian Middle Ages but also became a commonplace in the Renaissance when courtly poets praised their patrons and princes by claiming that Astraea guided them. The literary cult of Astraea persisted in the sixteenth century as writers saw in Elizabeth I of England the imperial Astraea who would lead mankind to peace through universal rule.

Contradictory Subjects
This ambitious book attempts to rehistoricize the Golden Age of Spain (ca. 1550-1680) by placing literary production in its socio-cultural context. Drawing on theories of cultural materialism and making use of historical analysis, George Mariscal focuses on the ways in which the problem of subjectivity is constructed in the writing of the period, particularly the poetry of Francisco de Quevedo and Cervantes' Don Quixote.
Las Obras en Verso Del Príncipe de Esquilache
Este volumen ofrece el primer estudio monogr©Łfico sobre uno de los poetas m©Łs citados y peor conocidos del barroco espa©łol: Francisco de Borja, pr©Ưncipe de Esquilache.

No s©đlo se trata de uno de los pocos cancioneros barrocos espa©łoles curados y editados por su propio autor, sino tambi©♭n del primer volumen de poes©Ưa dado a la imprenta por un miembro de la alta aristocracia castellana. En ©♭l, y desde la distancia de los a©łos y la poes©Ưa, el pr©Ưncipe de Esquilache recrea e instrumentaliza su estrec...
Cervantes' Los Trabajos de Persiles Y Sigismunda
Multidimensional characters, contrasting perspectives and ironic manipulations produce a kind of 'generic hybridisation' which exposes the fallacies of this type of romance fiction."--Jacket.
