Runner-up for the 2015 Publication Prize awarded by the Association of Hispanists of Great Britain and Ireland and the Spanish Embassy Castilian romances of chivalry were the dominant form of fiction in Europe during the peak of the Spanish Empire in the the sixteenth century. Whilst the material traits of chivalric romances have been thoroughly studied, Don Quijote's shadow has often resulted in the neglect of the literary aspects and influence of the genre, thus hindering our understanding of Golden Age and Spanish fiction. Conversely, this book examines the literary transformation of the genre throughout the sixteenth century from the perspective of intertextuality. In particular, this book focuses on the literary practices central to the craft and development of the genre: the rewriting of previous romance, the writing of sequels, and the formation of narrative cycles. These three processes defined the poetics of the genre and set the bases and literary techniques for other fictional genres and works, including Don Quijote itself. Daniel Gutiérrez Trápaga is Associate Professor in Research Methodologies (Hispanic Literature) at the Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.

Die Beiträge des Sammelbands untersuchen den Zusammenhang zwischen den deutschen Antikenübersetzungen des Zeitraums von 1450 bis 1620 und der frühneuzeitlichen Rhetorik und Poetik. Dabei wird der Beitrag der Übersetzungskultur, die unter dem Einfluss der humanistischen Bildungsbewegung entsteht, für die Entwicklung der deutschen Sprache und Literatur der Frühen Neuzeit neu bestimmt. In der beginnenden Frühen Neuzeit zeichnet sich unter dem Einfluss der humanistischen Bildungsbewegung im Verhältnis zur antiken Literatur ein Umbruch im Vergleich zur mittelalterlichen Antikenrezeption ab: Die Schriften der Autoren des klassischen Altertums werden zum Teil wiederentdeckt, ediert und kommentiert; zahlreiche Übersetzungen werden angefertigt. In der Auseinandersetzung mit dem inhaltlichen und stilistischen Vorbild der antiken Werke ergeben sich in der Volkssprache vielfältige Veränderungen im Literatursystem, die den programmatisch an die antike Literatur anknüpfenden Neuansatz der frühneuzeitlichen Poetik durch Martin Opitz und andere vorbereiten, von diesen aber zugunsten französischer und niederländischer Vorbilder verschwiegen werden. In fünf Sektionen (Übersetzungsreflexion und Sprachbewusstsein, Institutionen und Funktionen, Intermedialität, Poetik und Rhetorik, Literaturvarianten und Gattungstransfer) wird der Beitrag der Übersetzungskultur für die Entwicklung der deutschen Sprache und Literatur der Frühen Neuzeit neu bestimmt.

In her analysis of the verse of representative poets of the Hispanic Baroque, Holloway demonstrates how these writers occupy an Arcadia which is de-familiarised and yet remains connected to the classical origins of the mode. Herstudy includes recent manuscript discoveries from the Spanish Baroque (Fábula de Alfeo y Aretusa, now attributed to the Gongorist poet Pedro Soto de Rojas), the poetry of Luisa de Carvajal y Mendoza and Francisco de Quevedo. The study considers pastoral as a global cultural phenomenon of the Early Modern period, its reverberations reaching as far as Viceregal Peru. The tradition of the pastoral as a site for the discussion of 'great matters in theforest' has deep roots, and re-emerges to praise the urban hearts of empire. Furthermore, it proves to be a site of spiritual encounter--a poetic space that frames the staging of indigenous conversion in the poetry of Diego Mexiaand Fernando de Valverde. Within the intricacies of this literary construct, surface artistry sustains an effect of artless innocence that is vibrantly contested across the secular, sacred, parodic and colonial text.

This book focuses on the development of the law of conspiracy in England from the thirteenth to the early eighteenth century. The historiography of the law of conspiracy has adopted an unmistakably doctrinal approach to this topic which has produced a treasure trove of legal sources. By borrowing concepts from cognitive linguistics, this research will shed light upon new aspects of these sources that the doctrinal approach could not reveal. It will show how certain conducts were lexicalized as a conspiracy in the Middle Ages. It will also show how these terms are involved in the lexicalization of the crime of treason and how through a process of conceptual blending the action upon the case in the nature of conspiracy rose as an action separate from the medieval conspiracy. Finally, it will be seen how the modern offense of conspiracy emerged out of the process of conceptual blending through analogies with treason and the action upon the case in the nature of conspiracy.------ Este libro se centra en la genealogía del delito de conspiración en Inglaterra desde el siglo XIII hasta comienzos del XVIII. La historiografía acerca del mismo ha sido de carácter marcadamente doctrinal, aunque ha producido un valioso acopio de fuentes. Haciendo uso de conceptos de la lingüística cognitiva, esta investigación revela aspectos de la genealogía del concepto de conspiración que el enfoque doctrinal no podía percibir. Se muestra cómo ciertas conductas fueron lexicalizadas como conspiración en la Edad Media, cómo el mismo término aparece en la conceptualización del delito de traición y cómo a través de un proceso de integración conceptual se produjo la action upon the case in the nature of conspiracy diferente de la conspiración medieval. Finalmente, también se verá cómo el moderno sentido de conspiración surgió a través del mismo proceso de integración conceptual que permitía establecer analogías con el delito de traición, así como con la action upon the case in the nature of conspiracy.
