La Jácara en el Siglo de Oro
Este libro es la primera monografía que se escribe sobre la jácara, una construcción literaria del Siglo de Oro que fue muy apreciada entre fines del siglo XV y finales del XVII, cuando derivó hacia otras formas y otros temas, como el de la literatura de bandoleros, alejándose de sus características y propósitos iniciales. Estas obras poéticas y teatrales breves presentan como héroes a quienes hasta aquel momento no tenían voz literaria, como fueron los rufianes y prostitutas de los barrios marginales de las principales ciudades españolas. Tuvieron mucho éxito, se vitorearon en los corrales de comedias y se recitaron, cantaron y bailaron en la propia corte de los Austrias. Entre ...
The Art of Humour in the Teatro Breve and Comedias of Calderón de la Barca
Frantic and popular characters and situations from the entremes tradition, thought by many as opposing the comedias' main features, are instead shown to join and often dominate these features through the introduction of absurd figuras, slapstick, and burlas."--BOOK JACKET.

Black Voices in Early Modern Spanish Literature, 1500-1750
In this groundbreaking study, Diana Berruezo-Sánchez recovers key chapters in the history of Afro-Iberian diasporas by exploring the literary contributions and life experiences of black African communities and individuals in early modern Spain. From the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries, international trade involving chattel slavery led to significant populations of enslaved, free(d), and half-manumitted black African women, men, and children in the Iberian Peninsula. These demographic changes transformed Spain's urban and social landscapes. In exploring Spain's role in the transatlantic slave trade and its effects on cultural forms of the period, Berruezo-Sánchez examines a broad rang...
The Signifying Self
The Signifying Self: Cervantine Drama as Counter-Perspective Aesthetic offers a comprehensive analysis of all eight of Cervantes's Ocho comedias (published 1615), moving beyond conventional anti-Lope approaches to Cervantine dramatic practise in order to identify what, indeed, his theatre promotes. Considered on its own aesthetic terms, but also taking into account ontological and socio-cultural concerns, this study compels a re-assessment of Cervantes's drama and conflates any monolithic interpretations which do not allow for the textual interplay of contradictory and conflicting discourses which inform it. Cervantes's complex and polyvalent representation of freedom underpins such an appro...
Hercules and the King of Portugal
Hercules and the King of Portugal investigates how representations of masculinity figure in the fashioning of Spanish national identity, scrutinizing ways that gender performances of two early modern male icons—Hercules and King Sebastian—are structured to express enduring nationhood. The classical hero Hercules features prominently in Hispanic foundational fictions and became intimately associated with the Hapsburg monarchy in the early sixteenth century. King Sebastian of Portugal (1554–78), both during his lifetime and after his violent death, has been inserted into his own land’s charter myth, even as competing interests have adapted his narratives to promote Spanish power. The h...
