Fuster, una declinació personal
Aquest volum recull alguns dels treballs esparsos de Josep Iborra sobre el pensament i l'obra de Joan Fuster, i sobre el seu perfil personal i humà. Analitza l'assaig fusterià i alguns dels seus aforismes, i també la relació entre Fuster i Montaigne, Valéry o Pascal, entre d'altres. Inclou ressenyes i articles sobre la publicació de la correspondència de Fuster amb escriptors i intel·lectuals catalans de renom, i descriu el context en què va escriure la seua obra. Finalment, també assenyala la influència de Fuster en la literatura catalana, especialment al País Valencià. Josep Iborra, des de la seua experiència com a estudiós i amic de l'escriptor de Sueca, ens ofereix amb aquest conjunt de textos, alguns dels quals són inèdits, una excepcional anàlisi que amplia i completa els estudis precedents de l'obra fusteriana.
Modern Inquisitions
Trying to understand how “civilized” people could embrace fascism, Hannah Arendt searched for a precedent in modern Western history. She found it in nineteenth-century colonialism, with its mix of bureaucratic rule, racial superiority, and appeals to rationality. Modern Inquisitions takes Arendt’s insights into the barbaric underside of Western civilization and moves them back to the sixteenth century and seventeenth, when Spanish colonialism dominated the globe. Irene Silverblatt describes how the modern world developed in tandem with Spanish imperialism and argues that key characteristics of the modern state are evident in the workings of the Inquisition. Her analysis of the tribunal...
The Oxford Handbook of Montaigne
Montaigne's Essays resemble a patchwork of personal reflections, but they engage with questions that animate the human mind, and tend to a single goal: to live better in the present and to prepare for death. For this reason, Montaigne's thought and writings have been a subject of enduring interest across disciplines. This Handbook brings together essays by prominent scholars that examine Montaigne's literary, philosophical, and political contributions, and assess his legacy and relevance today in a global perspective. It presents Montaigne's Essays not only in their historical context but also as a starting point for discussing issues that concern us today.

Tirso de Molina
The first comprehensive study of Tirso de Molina and his work in English Tirso de Molina (c.1583-c.1648) may not have written El Burlador de Sevilla, but the works of this prolific author, one of the three pillars of Golden Age Spanish theatre, are notable for their erudition, complex characters, and wit. Informed by a multidisciplinary critical perspective, this volume sets Tirso's plays and prose in their social, historical, literary, and cultural contexts. Contributors from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Spain offer a state of the art in current scholarship, considering such topics as gender, identity, spatiality, material culture, and creative performativity, among others. The first volume in English to provide a richly detailed overview of Tirso's life and work, Tirso de Molina: Interdisciplinary Perspectives from the Twenty-First Century grounds the reader in canonical theories while suggesting new approaches, attuned to contemporary interests, to his legacy.

La Nobleza en la España moderna
Al margen de los aspectos puramente descriptivos David García Hernán centra su estudio en el peso político, económico, social y cultural de la nobleza española del Antiguo Régimen, profundizando a través de la selección de textos hasta hallar las claves que explican el mantenimiento de su protagonismo como grupo social durante los siglos de la Edad Moderna
Castellón de la Plana 1700-1710
El reconocimiento que los territorios de la Corona de Aragón otorgaron al archiduque Carlos, derrotado en el conflicto sucesorio abierto tras la muerte de Carlos II, les supuso la pérdida de su secular singularidad política dentro de la monarquía hispánica tras la victoria de Felipe V. Dentro de este marco, este trabajo se sitúa por voluntad propia en Castellón, una ciudad media del reino valenciano, para comprobar cómo entendieron y vivieron el conflicto sus protagonistas. El libro amplía los conocimientos sobre cómo se vivió, desde el punto de vista de la institución municipal de una villa de la periferia, la muerte de Carlos II, y la proclamación de Felipe V, la guerra, la adhesión al archiduque Carlos, y tras la pérdida de la Guerra de Sucesión y con ella de los fueros, la asimilación de unas normes, las castellanes, de difícil encaje en general en todo el reino de Valencia.
