Propiciadas por el desarrollo de la imprenta, las continuaciones literarias conocen en la España de la Edad Clásica un verdadero auge que afecta a todos los ámbitos de la ficción. Sin embargo, este fenómeno no es totalmente nuevo puesto que durante la Edad Media cualquier elaboración literaria se centraba en la reutilización y continuación de textos ajenos. Sin hacer caso omiso de esta herencia medieval, este libro trata de especificar la noción de continuación para la época moderna considerándola como una modalidad peculiar del préstamo. Situándose por encima de las fronteras genéricas, ofrece un estudio de conjunto de esta práctica proponiendo una arqueología de la misma y tomando en cuenta la dimensión creativa que conllevan las obras correspondientes. La pratique littéraire de la continuation est la reprise affichée, de la part d’un auteur, de personnages propres à une œuvre antérieure, généralement écrite par un autre auteur. C’est en Espagne, à la fin du XVe siècle, que cette pratique naît sous sa forme moderne, pour ensuite gagner toute l’Europe. Cet ouvrage offre une étude d’ensemble de cette pratique, en propose une archéologie et prend en compte la part de création que comportent ces œuvres.

'Disabled Bodies in Early Modern Spanish Literature: Prostitutes, Aging Women and Saints provides a politically urgent critical approach to disability and female corporeality in early modern Spanish literary and social discourse. Rigorous in its historical contextualization and offering innovative, compelling readings of classic works, this book challenges familiar interpretations of women's bodies in texts of this period, transforming prior disciplinary boundaries and categories of analysis.' Professor Susan Antebi, University of Toronto 'Blending historical context and literary text with disability studies method, Encarnación Juárez-Almendros sets out to challenge the foundations of early modern scholarship through a long-awaited critical feminist examination of disability as both a social construction and an embodied material experience.' Benjamin Fraser, Professor and Chair, Thomas Harriot College of Arts & Sciences, East Carolina University Disabled Bodies in Early Modern Spanish Literature: Prostitutes, Aging Women and Saints examines the concepts and role of women in selected Spanish discourses and literary texts from the late fifteenth to seventeenth centuries from the perspective of feminist disability theories. This study explores a wide range of Spanish medical, regulatory and moral discourses, illustrating how such texts inherit, reproduce and propagate an amalgam of Western traditional concepts of female embodiment. It goes on to examine concrete representations of deviant female characters, focusing on the figures of syphilitic prostitutes and physically decayed aged women in literary texts such as Celestina, Lozana andaluza and selected works by Cervantes and Quevedo. Finally, an analysis of the personal testimony of Teresa de Avila, a nun suffering neurological disorders, complements the discussion of early modern women's disability. By expanding the meanings of contemporary theories of materiality and the social construction of disability, the book concludes that paradoxically, femininity, bodily afflictions, and mental instability characterized the new literary heroes at the very time Spain was at the apex of its imperial power. Ultimately, as this study shows, the broken female bodies of pre-industrial Spanish literature reveal the cracks in the foundational principles of power and established truths.
