Paperback. Condition: New. When Philip IV of Spain died in 1665, his heir, Carlos II, was three years old. In addition to this looming dynastic crisis, decades of enormous military commitments had left Spain a virtually bankrupt state with vulnerable frontiers and a depleted army. In Silvia Z. Mitchell's revisionist account, Queen, Mother, and Stateswoman, Queen Regent Mariana of Austria emerges as a towering figure at court and on the international stage, while her key collaborators-the secretaries, ministers, and diplomats who have previously been ignored or undervalued-take their rightful place in history.Mitchell provides a nuanced account of Mariana of Austria's ten-year regency (1665-75) of the global Spanish Empire and examines her subsequent role as queen mother. Drawing from previously unmined primary sources, including Council of State deliberations, diplomatic correspondence, Mariana's and Carlos's letters, royal household papers, manuscripts, and legal documents, Mitchell describes how, over the course of her regency, Mariana led the monarchy out of danger and helped redefine the military and diplomatic blocs of Europe in Spain's favor. She follows Mariana's exile from court and recounts how the dowager queen used her extensive connections and diplomatic experience to move the negotiations for her son's marriage forward, effectively exploiting the process to regain her position.A new narrative of the Spanish Habsburg monarchy in the later seventeenth century, this volume advances our knowledge of women's legitimate political entitlement in the early modern period. It will be welcomed by scholars and students of queenship, women's studies, and early modern Spain. …

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Cuando en 1665 falleció Felipe IV, su heredero, Carlos II, tenía tres años. La crisis dinástica que se abatió sobre España se sumaba a décadas de inmensos esfuerzos militares que habían dejado una Monarquía exhausta, prácticamente en bancarrota, con las fronteras vulnerables y un ejército diezmado. En Madre, reina y estadista. Mariana de Austria y el gobierno de España se retoma esta cuestión y su protagonista emerge como una figura sobresaliente tanto en la corte madrileña como en la escena internacional, mientras que sus principales colaboradores ?secretarios, ministros y diplomáticos a los que hasta ahora no se ha prestado la debida atención? ocupan el lugar que les corresponde en la historia. Silvia Z. Mitchell ofrece un retrato de la regencia (1665-1675) lleno de matices y analiza el papel de Mariana como reina madre, oponiéndose a la percepción generalizada que se tiene de ella como una mujer débil, fácilmente manipulable y demasiado joven para gobernar. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
