A Linking of Heaven and Earth
The Reformation of the sixteenth century shattered the unity of medieval Christendom, and the resulting fissures spread to the corners of the earth. No scholar of the period has done more than Carlos M.N. Eire, however, to document how much these ruptures implicated otherworldly spheres as well. His deeply innovative publications helped shape new fields of study, intertwining social, intellectual, cultural, and religious history to reveal how, lived beliefs had real and profound implications for social and political life in early modern Europe. Reflecting these themes, the volume celebrates the intellectual legacy of Carlos Eire's scholarship, applying his distinctive combination of cultural...
Moving Crucifixes in Modern Spain
Why are religious visions believed only in certain times and places? In this book William Christian investi gates the settings and responses to a series of group visions reported by Spaniards in rural Galicia, Valencia, Cantabria, and Navarre in the early part of this century the most notable one involving the crucifix at Limpias, where Jesus was first seen agonizing on the cross during a mission service in March of 1919. In light of the social strife and strong anticlerical movements of the period, the author examines how gender and religious politics influenced the experiences of seers and the interpretation of their visions by church officials, journalists, and the public. Christian appro...

Miera Y Pacheco
Remembered today as an early cartographer and prolific religious artist, don Bernardo de Miera y Pacheco (1713–1785) engaged during his lifetime in a surprising array of other pursuits: engineer and militia captain on Indian campaigns, district officer, merchant, debt collector, metallurgist, luckless silver miner, presidial soldier, dam builder, and rancher. This long-overdue, richly illustrated biography recounts Miera’s complex life in cinematic detail, from his birth in Cantabria, Spain, to his sudden and unexplained appearance at Janos, Chihuahua, and his death in Santa Fe at age seventy-one. In Miera y Pacheco, John L. Kessell explores each aspect of this Renaissance man’s life i...

Poesía de Matilde González-Serna Verdeja
La publicación de la obra poética inédita de Matilde González-Serna Verdeja por la Universidad de Cantabria (en el año 2009 había editado la Obra Completa que resultó ser incompleta) confirma la presencia de una nueva voz lírica hasta ahora prácticamente desconocida en el panorama literario hispánico. Una poeta, cuya creación literaria reúne explícitamente dos cualidades inherentes al género poético: el lirismo y la musicalidad, rasgos que se aprecian en toda su obra. El lirismo cimentado en una subjetividad que le sirve de medio para expresar el afecto que siente por el universo que describe y en el que se encuentra firmemente enraizada; un mundo en el que la naturaleza y las...
