Hardback. Condition: New. A Poetry of Things examines the works of four poets whose use of visual and material culture contributed to the remarkable artistic and literary production during the reign of Philip III (1598-1621). Francisco de Quevedo, Luis de Góngora, Juan de Arguijo, and Luisa de Carvajal y Mendoza cast cultural objects - ranging from books and tombstones to urban ruins, sculptures, and portraits - as participants in lively interactions with their readers and viewers across time and space. Mary E. Barnard argues that in their dialogic performance, these objects serve as sites of inquiry for exploring contemporary political, social, and religious issues, such as the preservation of humanist learning in an age of print, the collapse of empires and the rebirth of the city, and the visual culture of the Counter-Reformation. Her inspired readings explain how the performance of cultural objects, whether they remain in situ or are displayed in a library, museum, or convent, is the most compelling.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Collecting and displaying finely crafted objects was a mark of character among the royals and aristocrats in Early Modern Spain: it ranked with extravagant hospitality as a sign of nobility and with virtue as a token of princely power. Objects of Culture in the Literature of Imperial Spain explores how the writers of the period shared the same impulse to collect, arrange, and display objects, though in imagined settings, as literary artefacts. These essays examine a variety of cultural objects described or alluded to in books from the Golden Age of Spanish literature, including clothing, paintings, tapestries, playing cards, monuments, materials of war, and even enchanted bronze heads. The contributors emphasize how literature preserved and transformed objects to endow them with new meaning for aesthetic, social, religious, and political purposes ­- whether to perpetuate certain habits of thought and belief, or to challenge accepted social and moral norms.…

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The Spatial Turn in the Literature and Art of Early Modern Spain investigates novel and transformative ways in which writers and artists of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Spain conceived of space through the lens of what recent studies have called the spatial turn. With an emphasis on the production of space, as proposed by Henri Lefebvre, Michel de Certeau, and Yi-Fu Tuan, the essays in this volume explore space as a cultural construct, produced within a dynamic sphere of human interaction, performance, inquiry, and experience in a variety of public and private settings. New readings of specific texts and works of art engage mythological soundscapes, spaces of the sublime, monastic spaces of introspection, encyclopedias as spaces for memorializing old and new knowledge, and spaces of performance at public theatres and at court. In urban micro-spaces, the readers will encounter geotagging in Seville, surveillance in Madrid, and even the Neapolitan Our Lady of the Arch. is a fascinating study of the interplay of space and society. This book investigates new ways in which writers and artists of early modern Spain conceived of space through the lens of what recent studies have called the spatial turn and explores space as a cultural construct.
