Abstract

This bilingual edition presents Luis Vélez de Guevara's 1613 play La Serrana de la Vera (The Mountain Girl from La Vera) for the first time ever in English translation. This long-forgotten tragedy has come back into focus in recent years because of its extraordinary protagonist, Gila, a peasant girl who calls herself a man, takes fierce pride in doing things men do, and falls in love with Queen Isabel. Her betrayal by an army captain who she has humiliated leads to lawlessness, violence and tragedy. Dramatized by the playwright as an heroic rebel, Gila has been variously described as feminist, homosexual, bisexual, lesbian, transsexual, hybrid, queer, and transgender. Highly relevant today, The Mountain Girl from La Vera is also a great piece of theatre, full of dramatic confrontations, colourful vignettes, striking moments of music and spectacle, and plentiful comic relief. This bilingual edition presents the entirety of the play, annotated, along with a Critical Introduction by the translator that contextualizes the work.

Abstract

Is gender learned or innate? This controversial play asks the question: what happens if you raise a boy to sew and behave as a girl, and raise his sister to fight as a soldier? For the first time ever, Guillén de Castro's La fuerza de la costumbre ('The Force of Habit') will be available to English and Spanish audiences with a performance-tested translation on facing pages. Castro's plot is unique in that, unlike other cross dressing plays, the children do not traverse gender boundaries by choice; instead complications arising from their parents' problematic marriage dictate the gender they should perform. This new Spanish edition (the first since 1927) and performance-tested English translation will begin a new discussion of this understudied work and its implications among Hispanists, comparatists, performance theorists, and gender scholars. The critical apparatus includes a biography of the author, textual history, editorial methodology, metrical analysis, bibliography and notes on the text. Machit's introductory essay, 'Bad Habits: Gender Made and Remade in La fuerza de la costumbre' aims to contextualize and investigate the most salient questions raised by Castro's gender-bending play.

Abstract

Hoe omstreden het begrip Gouden Eeuw ook is, in de zeventiende eeuw zelf was deze al volop in gebruik, bij de Nederlanders zelf en bij de talloze buitenlanders die ons land bezochten. De Republiek onderscheidde zich door vernieuwingen op de meest uiteenlopende gebieden: politiek met zijn republikeinse systeem, technisch met zijn inpolderingen, economisch met zijn bankinstellingen, artistiek met zijn wereldberoemde schilders, en religieus met een tolerantie die destijds uitzonderlijk was. 'De Gouden Eeuw in 500 portretten, taferelen & analyses' geeft een levendig beeld van deze unieke periode aan de hand van meer dan 500 bijdragen, geschreven door meer dan 130 specialisten, die alle terreinen bestrijken: van slavenhandel tot Bijbeluitleg, van koloniën tot schilderkunst, van oorlogen tot kaasmakerij, van overstromingen tot scheepsbouw, van schaatsen tot de radicale Verlichting. Beknopte biografieën van filosofen, kunstenaars, historische figuren en vooraanstaande families, en geschreven portretten van de belangrijkste Nederlandse steden, maken dit kleurrijke portret van de Gouden Eeuw compleet. Elke bijdrage gaat vergezeld van een schitterend, soms paginagrote, kleurenafbeelding. Ook zijn speciaal voor het boek nieuwe, op de laatste stand van de wetenschap gebaseerde kaarten getekend.

Abstract

Le plus célèbre et les plus ancien des mythes, tel est celui de l'Age d'or, du Paradis en particulier, avec la croyance en un bonheur originel perdu, mais poursuivi inlassablement par la pauvre humanité qui vit seulement dans les malheurs de l'Age de fer. Chaque être humain peut y trouver une explication de la nostalgie qu'il ressent parfois, mais peut aussi puiser un précieux réconfort dans l'espoir du retour de cet âge d'or paradisiaque. Ainsi se révèle l'importance considérable de ce mythe, surtout dans l'Antiquité, mais encore jusqu'à notre époque sous des formes parfois bien curieuses.

Abstract

"During the seventeenth century, the Dutch Republic was transformed into a leading political power in Europe, with global trading interests. It nurtured some of the period's greatest luminaries, including Rembrandt, Vermeer, Descartes and Spinoza. Long celebrated for its religious tolerance, artistic innovation and economic modernity, the United Provinces of the Netherlands also became known for their involvement with slavery and military repression in Asia, Africa, and the Americas. This Companion provides a compelling overview of the best scholarship on this much debated era, written by a wide range of experts in the field. Unique in its balanced treatment of global, political, socio-economic, literary, artistic, religious, and intellectual history, its nineteen chapters offer an indispensable guide for anyone interested in the world of the Dutch Golden Age"-- "Even today few people are unaffected by the term 'Dutch Golden Age'. So commonly has the phrase been applied to the Dutch seventeenth century in, for instance, museums, (art) history books, and tourist guides that it seldom fails to conjure up a range of iconic associations. For many, it will evoke pictures by Rembrandt, Vermeer, Hals, or one of the many other only slightly less famous painters. Others associate it primarily with Dutch economic prosperity and the Republic's trade empire, and might envision the rich merchant houses along the Amsterdam canals, Delftware, or the great East India men of the VOC. Some will think of one or two of the many wars fought by the Dutch Republic, most likely the revolt against Habsburg Spain, the three naval wars against England, or the battles against Louis XIV's France. Grotius, Huygens, Spinoza and the great intellectual achievements of the seventeenth-century Dutch Republic might be less prominent in the minds of most people, as would be the rest of its immense textual heritage, but still one can expect one or two mentions from that field as well. And that is only scratching the surface: evidently, the Dutch Golden Age connotes a great many, very disparate things that are nevertheless distinctive enough to be called Dutch."--

Abstract

Dutch Golden Age poet Constantijn Huygens (1596-1687) was a remarkable figure: in addition to writing poetry, he composed music; was secretary to two Princes of Orange, Frederick Henry and William II; and became a friend to John Donne, Rembrandt, Descartes, and many other notable people of his time. In this book, Peter Davidson and Adriaan van der Weel offer a broad selection of Huygens's poems and provide excellent translations for those written in Dutch, Latin, and a number of other languages revealing both Huygens literary talent and his remarkable linguistic range.
