Empty Wardrobes
A previously untranslated classic of Portuguese feminist literature originally published in 1978, Carvalho's Empty Wardrobes introduces English-speaking readers to a forgotten and underappreciated woman writer a la recent publishing sensations Lucia Berlin, Natalia Ginzburg, Ingeborg Bachmann, Silvina Ocampo, and Armonia Somers. Empty Wardrobes is a tightly plotted, highly entertaining read, that, thanks to an ingenious detached narrative technique (one that makes the plot all the more fun to revisit and rethink), is both darkly humorous and devastatingly true.
Les intendants de la vice-royauté de la Nouvelle-Espagne (1764-1821)
L’histoire de l’intendance hispano-américaine ne peut se faire sans l’histoire des hommes qui la gouvernent. Au-delà des données biographiques classiques, cet ouvrage se penche sur leur environnement familial, social et professionnel. Son originalité réside dans la composition du groupe étudié. Il recense l’ensemble des intendants de la vice-royauté de la Nouvelle-Espagne entre 1764 et 1821 quel que soit leur mode de nomination, qu’ils soient entrés ou non en charge. Il est le seul à étudier les intendants de cette aire géographique dans toute son intégralité territoriale (Nouvelle-Espagne, Guatemala, Louisiane, Cuba, Porto Rico, Philippines).
Converso Non-Conformism in Early Modern Spain
This book examines the effects of Jewish conversions to Christianity in late medieval Spanish society. Ingram focuses on these converts and their descendants (known as conversos) not as Judaizers, but as Christian humanists, mystics and evangelists, who attempt to create a new society based on quietist religious practice, merit, and toleration. His narrative takes the reader on a journey from the late fourteenth-century conversions and the first blood purity laws (designed to marginalize conversos), through the early sixteenth-century Erasmian and radical mystical movements, to a Counter-Reformation environment in which conversos become the advocates for pacifism and concordance. His account ends at the court of Philip IV, where growing intolerance towards Madrid’s converso courtiers is subtly attacked by Spain’s greatest painter, Diego Velázquez, in his work, Los Borrachos. Finally, Ingram examines the historiography of early modern Spain, in which he argues the converso reform phenomenon continues to be underexplored.
