| Abstract | "'A Companion to the Spanish Renaissance' makes a renewed case for the inclusion of Spain within broader European Renaissance movements. Its introduction, 'A Renaissance for the "Spanish Renaissance"?' will be sure to incite polemic across a broad spectrum of academic fields. This interdisciplinary volume combines micro- with macro-history to offer a snapshot of the best new work being done in this area. With essays on politics and government, family and daily life, religion, nobles and court culture, birth and death, intellectual currents, ethnic groups, the plastic arts, literature, popular culture, law courts, women, literacy, libraries, civic ritual, illness, money, notions of community, philosophy and law, science, colonial empire, and historiography, it offers breath-taking scope without sacrificing attention to detail." --Back cover |
