The Routledge Companion to the Hispanic Enlightenment
The Routledge Companion to the Hispanic Enlightenment is an interdisciplinary volume that brings together an international team of contributors to provide a unique transnational overview of the Hispanic Enlightenment, integrating both Spain and Latin America. Challenging the usual conceptions of the Enlightenment in Spain and Latin America as mere stepsisters to Enlightenments in other countries, the Companion explores the existence of a distinctive Hispanic Enlightenment. The interdisciplinary approach makes it an invaluable resource for students of Hispanic studies and researchers unfamiliar with the Hispanic Enlightenment, introducing them to the varied aspects of this rich cultural period including the literature, visual art, and social and cultural history.
European Modernity and the Passionate South
In the long nineteenth century, dominant stereotypes presented people of the Mediterranean South as particularly passionate and unruly, therefore incapable of adapting to the moral and political duties imposed by European civilization and modernity. This book studies, for the first time in comparative perspective, the gender dimension of a process that legitimised internal hierarchies between North and South in the continent. It also analyses how this phenomenon was responded to from Spain and Italy, pointing to the similarities and differences between both countries. Drawing on travel narratives, satires, philosophical works, novels, plays, operas, and paintings, it shows how this transnational process affected, in changing historical contexts, the ways in which nation, gender, and modernity were imagined and mutually articulated.
The Emerging Female Citizen
Eighteenth-century Spanish women were not idle bystanders during one of Europe's most dynamic eras. As Theresa Ann Smith skillfully demonstrates in this lively and absorbing book, Spanish intellectuals, calling for Spain to modernize its political, social, and economic institutions, brought the question of women's place to the forefront, as did women themselves. In explaining how both discourse and women's actions worked together to define women's roles in the nation, The Emerging Female Citizen not only illustrates the rising visibility of women, but also reveals the complex processes that led to women's relatively swift exit from most public institutions in the early 1800s. As artists, writers, and reformers, Spanish women took up pens, joined academies and economic societies, formed tertulias—similar to French salons—and became active in the burgeoning public discourse of Enlightenment. In analyzing the meaning of women's presence in diverse centers of Enlightenment, Smith offers a new interpretation of the dynamics among political discourse, social action, and gender ideologies.

La vida y la escritura en el siglo XVIII
Este libro parte de un enigma: desvelar la identidad de la autora de uno de los más importantes textos críticos sobre la condición de las mujeres de su época, la 'Apología de las mujeres' (1798), un ensayo cuya audacia contrasta con la oscuridad que rodea las circunstancias de su aparición. ¿Quién era Inés Joyes? ¿Con qué recursos y a través de qué negociaciones con los valores y prácticas de su tiempo pudo una mujer, en la España del siglo XVIII, dotarse de una voz propia? Para responder a estas preguntas, se reconstruye su vida, su contexto social e intelectual, español y europeo, y su breve pero significativa obra: la 'Apología de las mujeres', de la que ofrecemos por primera vez una edición crítica, y la traducción de la novela filosófica 'Rasselas' de Samuel Johnson, cuyas afinidades con su traductora se exploran detenidamente.
Las mujeres y las emociones en Europa y América. Siglos XVII-XIX
Esta obra es fruto de un esfuerzo colectivo centrado en el estudio de las emociones en la Edad Moderna, con un claro protagonista: las mujeres, bien como sujetos activos, o como objetos del afán y las pasiones procedentes de hombres, grupos o profesiones. La importancia del estudio de lo emocional, de manifiesto en las últimas décadas, se plasma aquí en un acercamiento espacial diverso (Inglaterra, España, Sur de la América Colonial) en tiempos amplios (siglos XVII-XIX), y enfoques interdisciplinares: la Historia, la Literatura, el Arte confluyen en una mirada temática. En el centro: las mujeres.
