Book The Evolution of the Pastoral Novel in Early Modern Spain

Download or read book The Evolution of the Pastoral Novel in Early Modern Spain written by Dominick L. Finello and published by Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies (ACMRS). This book was released on 2008 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This work recasts the role of the pastoral novel in the intellectual life of the Spanish after the initial impact of the Dianas. Spanish pastoral novels published from 1570 onward, the author claims, are crucial in reconstructing Spain's intellectual history and modernity. Still to be discovered in its entirety, the Spanish pastoral novel was a springboard for literary academies and poetic competitions renewing Castilian poetics for the essential concerns of artistic reception, the conception of innovative generic forms, the power of the writer in a hierarchical society and, ultimately, the novel's bold new sense of literary self-consciousness."--BOOK JACKET.

Book The Spanish Arcadia

Download or read book The Spanish Arcadia written by Javier Irigoyen-García and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spanish Arcadia analyzes the figure of the shepherd in the sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Spanish imaginary, exploring its centrality to the discourses on racial, cultural, and religious identity. Drawing on a wide range of documents, including theological polemics on blood purity, political treatises, manuals on animal husbandry, historiography, paintings, epic poems, and Spanish ballads, Javier Irigoyen-García argues that the figure of the shepherd takes on extraordinary importance in the reshaping of early modern Spanish identity. The Spanish Arcadia contextualizes pastoral romances within a broader framework and assesses how they inform other cultural manifestations. In doing so, Irigoyen-García provides incisive new ideas about the social and ethnocentric uses of the genre, as well as its interrelation with ideas of race, animal husbandry, and nation building in early modern Spain.

Book The Spanish Pastoral Romances  Classic Reprint

Download or read book The Spanish Pastoral Romances Classic Reprint written by Hugo A. Rennert and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spanish Pastoral Romances The first edition of this work was accepted by the faculty of the University of Freiburg i. B. as a dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in 1891, and was published in Baltimore in the following year. In its day it was not unfavorably received, and as it has long since been out of print, it has seemed that a new edition might not be unwelcome. In the long period that has intervened the Pastoral Romance never entirely lost for me its old attraction, and as I gradually acquired many of the early editions of these works and re-read them, I determined to re-issue these "primicias de mi corto ingenio," adding such new facts as subsequent researches had brought to light. The result is the present work, which has been almost entirely rewritten, and now appears, as I hope, in a much improved form. I have not seen fit to change, in any material degree, the opinions originally expressed concerning the various romances; repeated reading has convinced me more than ever that the Diana of Montemayor, which was the first, is also the best of these pastorals, while it has increased my admiration for the poetical portions of the Arcadia of Lope de Vega. The Pastoral Romance was essayed by some of the greatest ingenios that Spain has produced, and while many of these poets "had no true vocation for the business," as Professor Fitzmaurice-Kelly says of Cervantes, and, as a consequence, their works are of widely varying degrees of merit, yet they cannot be entirely neglected by the student, for the pastoral is a product of the most flourishing period of Spanish literature, - a literature unsurpassed by any in the modern world.

Book Tending to Empire

Download or read book Tending to Empire written by Benjamin J. Nelson and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation is an investigation of the genesis, circulation and disappearance of the Spanish pastoral novel of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in relation to the Spanish imperial project during its apogee and decline during the same period. Through a close reading of certain Spanish pastoral novels and an examination of historical materials from the period, this study uncovers a number of links between pastoral and empire. Each chapter focuses on a discrete number of pastoral novels, moving chronologically from Jorge de Montemayor's Los siete libros de la Diana (1559) to don Gabriel de Corral's La Cintia de Aranjuez (1629). The first chapter demonstrates how classical and early-Renaissance texts may be read as either praising or criticizing their own country's sociopolitical situation. The same chapter also discusses how, through other genres, Iberian authors (the dramatist Juan del Encina and the poet Garcilaso de la Vega) imitated their precursors by choosing the pastoral to honor contemporary historical figures. Since the study of the Spanish empire can be divided into three parts---its rise and subsequent grandeur (under the reign of Charles V), its tumultuous apogee (under Philip II) and its decadence (with Philip III and Philip IV), this dissertation accomplishes the same with the pastoral novel canon. In the second chapter, Jorge de Montemayor's Los siete libros de la Diana, Alonso Perez's La Diana de Montemayor (1563) and Gaspar Gil Polo's Diana enamorada (1564) praise Charles V and his court with the construction of a locus amoenus within Spain. In the third chapter, Luis Galvez de Montalvo's El pastor de Filida (1582) and Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra's La Galatea (1585) continue the tradition laid out by their precursors by praising Iberia but, within the same space, include numerous criticisms of the nascent decadence of the empire. In the final chapter, Felix Lope de Vega Carpio's La Arcadia (1598) and don Gabriel de Corral's La Cintia de Aranjuez possess more criticism than praise of Spain and its empire. This dissertation investigates how history can influence the structure of a specific literary genre, and how this genre can reflect upon the historical milieu.

Book The Spanish Pastoral Romances

Download or read book The Spanish Pastoral Romances written by Hugo Albert Rennert and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-12-02 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spanish Pastoral Romances: A Dissertation Presented to the Philosophical Faculty of the University of Freiburg I. B. For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The marked favor with which the Spanish pastoral romance was greeted, and the signal success it immediately enjoyed, may, perhaps, be explained (in addition to the reason already given) by the fact that the Diana, ' its first representative, was a work of real genius, while the peculiar temperament and susceptibility of the Spanish people, were, doubtless, also a factor in its success. The pastoral romance was not, however, originally a growth Of the Spanish soil, but was transplanted from Italy, its home.
