The Routledge Hispanic Studies Companion to Early Modern Spanish Literature and Culture cover

The Routledge Hispanic Studies Companion to Early Modern Spanish Literature and Culture introduces the intellectual and artistic breadth of early modern Spain from a range of disciplinary and critical perspectives.

Spanning the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries (a period traditionally known as the Golden Age), the volume examines topics including political and scientific culture, literary and artistic innovations, and religious and social identities and institutions in transformation. The 36 chapters of the volume include both expert overviews of key topics and figures from the period as well as new approaches to understudied questions and materials.

This invaluable resource will be of interest to advanced students and scholars in Hispanic studies, as well as Renaissance and early modern studies more generally.

"The collection is an important contribution to the field, providing both a valuable aid to scholars seeking an up-to-date guide to debates in scholarship on early modern Spain and cutting-edge new research."

Maria Czepiein Studia Aurea, Vol. 17 (2023)

“The volume’s introduction and thirty-six chapters approach this world from a panoply of different perspectives, gathered into eight thematic sections or parts, each of which is grouped around three keywords. […] The volume is thus a substantial one, significant in its range, and with some variation in methodology: many authors provide focused reviews of scholarly literature alongside specific case studies, while others build a case from first principles; both approaches implicitly cater to the companion’s twofold audience and purpose. […] what is valuable here is the snapshot of a burgeoning discipline reconsidering and moving beyond that traditional canon, mapping its own borders as its many interconnected points of focus continue to expand.”
