The Queen who shaped the music, literature, architecture, and painting of late medieval Spain. This multidisciplinary volume was inspired by the quincentenary of the death of Queen Isabel I of Castile, early modern Europe's first powerful queen regnant. Comprising work by distinguished art historians, musicologists, historians, and literary scholars from England, Spain, and the United States, it begins with a theoretical examination of medieval queenship itself that argues - against the grain of the volume - for its inseparability from kingship. Several essays examine the complex ways in which the Queen and her advisers shaped the music, literature, architecture, and painting of fifteenth-century Spain and how these in turn shaped the sovereign's power and persona. Others analyze influences on Isabel's reign from Aragón, Portugal, and northern Europe. A third group deals with issues of periodization, arguing from a variety of perspectives for the modernity of Isabelline culture. The evolving construction of Isabel's image from the mid-fifteenth to the late-twentieth century is also studied. BARBARA WEISSBERGER is Associate Professor Emerita of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Minnesota.

Conocida como la Reina Virgen por su negativa a contraer matrimonio, Isabel I ha pasado a la historia como una gobernante implacable. Margaret George, en este relato a dos voces, desmonta el mito del Isabel I como mujer fría y desapasionada al descubrirnos el perfil más íntimo y, hasta cierto punto, desconocido, de quien sería la última Tudor. Isabel I de Inglaterra, imponente en su papel de soberana, desplegó una acción política sin precedentes en la Europa del siglo XVI. La reina protestante se enfrentó a católicos y calvinistas en su país y en buena parte de los estados vecinos; se midió con María Estuardo y Felipe II, a quienes se impuso con inteligencia y valentía, al tiempo que desbarataba un complot contra su persona y armaba un gran ejército. En su lecho de muerte repasa las gestas por las que fue temida y reverenciada, pero entre sus recuerdos también hay lugar para sus seres queridos, como su fiel servidor Walsingham o su amante, Robert Dudley, caído en la batalla contra la Armada Invencible. Mucho tiempo después, Lettice, la esposa legítima de Dudley, cuenta a sus nietos, conmovida y sin rencor, la historia de la gran reina. Conocida como la Reina Virgen por su negativa a contraer matrimonio, Isabel I ha pasado a la historia como una gobernante implacable. Margaret George, en este relato a dos voces, desmonta el mito de Isabel I como mujer fría y desapasionada al descubrirnos el perfil más íntimo y, hasta cierto punto, desconocido de quien sería la última Tudor. La crítica ha dicho... «Al igual que su heroína, George tiene especial sensibilidad para la belleza y una gran habilidad en el tratamiento de los detalles; así crea una historia vibrante que permite a los lectores sentir que son testigos directos de las decisiones, los triunfos y las derrotas de la reina Isabel.» Publishers Weekly «El magistral conocimiento que tiene George de esta época y su certeza al investigar los vericuetos de la política isabelina hacen de ésta una novela que nunca decae.» Booklist

En 1451, en un convento en lo que hoy conocemos como Madrigal “de las Altas Torres” y que entonces era una pequeña villa, achaparrada bajo el adobe y las tejas, nació la hija de Juan II, rey de Castilla y León y de Isabel de Portugal. Una niña que recibiría el nombre de su madre y que estaba llamada a convertirse en una de las figuras más relevantes de la historia española. En esta obra, galardonada con el Premio Nacional de Historia, Luis Suárez desgrana con rigor pero con la voluntad de llegar al gran público, la vida de Isabel I de Castilla desde su infancia hasta la muerte, pasando por los momentos decisivos que tuvo que afrontar, desde la temprana pérdida de su padre cuando apenas tenía tres años. Si bien, Isabel no estaba destinada a reinar dado que tenía un hermanastro y un hermano por delante en la línea sucesoria, diversos avatares y confabulaciones le llevaron finalmente al trono de Castilla. Este libro es también la historia de cómo Isabel elige como marido a su joven primo Fernando frente a la imposición de otros candidatos como el rey de Portugal, el hermano de Luis XI de Francia, o el duque de York, futuro Ricardo III. La fórmula política a que ambos esposos llegaron –Unión de Reinos– siguiendo la trayectoria de la antigua Corona de Aragón, significó un paso muy importante en la construcción de Europa y permitió que los grandes objetivos culturales, económicos y de defensa, fueran compatibles con la pluralidad como forma política superior.

Legitimizing the Queen deals with a genre particular to the Middle Ages: the specula principum (mirror of prince). Its importance as an object of study may be understood in light of the political instability that wracked the Castilian fifteenth century. The many works written for and dedicated to Isabel I of Castile depict her kingdom as a shipwrecked boat, a wayward realm, and a land of bankrupt people. These works suggest the kingdom's need for redemption through the strong leadership of theCatholic monarchs. These largely propagandistic works were designed to garner power, and once maintained, further Isabel's agenda. This book frames the concept of sovereignty from the theoretical perspective of the speculum principum dedicated to her. It offers a Bourdieuian approach to the more literary specula texts used to legitimize and uphold Isabel's power. This book reveals propagandistic qualities promoting the ideology necessary to legitimize and support Isabel's claims to the throne. Written primarily between 1468 and 1493, these works are literary artifacts that mark the rise to power of a female sovereign. The study discusses the various strategies of legitimation employed by these propagandists whose works circulated within noble androyal courts, and presumably extended into Castile as justification for her sovereign claim to the throne. By analyzing fifteenth century texts from within a modern critical framework, this book reexamines Isabel's position as queen and contributes to the understanding of her shared sovereignty in a period political and social evolution.

Few historical figures have continued to captivate attention for centuries after their death as has Queen Isabel I of Castile. Yet the realities of Isabel’s life and works are obscured by the legacy of a persona carefully crafted by Isabel and a cadre of historians in her employ or that of her successors, who recognized the benefits of an image of benevolence and piety. This volume includes original essays that examine the world into which Isabel was born; the public and private facets of her marriage and reign; her intervention in the areas of religion, medicine, the arts, and the reform of political, social and economic institutions; and the construction of her image in literary and historical works from the fifteenth century onward.

Queen Elizabeth I was an iconic figure in England during her reign, with many contemporary English portraits and literary works extolling her virtue and political acumen. In Spain, however, her image was markedly different. While few Spanish fictional or historical writings focus primarily on Elizabeth, numerous works either allude to her or incorporate her as a character. The Image of Elizabeth I in Early Modern Spain explores the fictionalized, historical, and visual representations of Elizabeth I and their impact on the Spanish collective imagination. Drawing on works by Miguel de Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Pedro de Ribadeneira, Luis de Góngora, Cristóbal de Virués, Antonio Coello, and Calderón de la Barca, among others, the contributors to this volume limn contradictory assessments of Elizabeth’s physical appearance, private life, personality, and reign. In doing so they articulate the various and sometimes conflicting ways in which the Tudor monarch became both the primary figure in English propaganda efforts against Spain and a central part of the Spanish political agenda. This edited volume revives and questions the image of Elizabeth I in early modern Spain as a means of exploring how the queen’s persona, as mediated by its Spanish reception, has shaped the ways in which we understand Anglo-Spanish relations during a critical era for both kingdoms.

Elizabeth I was Queen of England for almost forty-five years. The daughter of Henry VIII and Ann Boleyn, as an infant she was briefly accepted as her father’s heir. After her mother was executed at her father’s command she was declared illegitimate and led a sometimes scandalous existence until her accession to the throne at the age of twenty-five. Elizabeth oversaw a vibrant age of exploration and literature and established herself, the "Virgin Queen", a national icon that lives on in the popular imagination. But Elizabeth was England’s second female monarch, and was greatly influenced by the experiences and mistakes of the reign of her half-sister, Mary I, before her. During her reign, Elizabeth had to perform a complicated balancing act in religious matters. As religious wars raged in Europe, Elizabeth herself a moderate Protestant, had to manage an inherited Catholic realm and the demands of zealous Protestants. The importance of such familiar features of Elizabeth’s reign as the presence in England of Mary Queen of Scots and her enduring efforts to take the throne, the Spanish armada, and the origins of English colonial expansion beyond the British archipelago all receive fresh attention in this engaging book. This new biography sheds light on Elizabeth’s early life, influences and on her personal religious beliefs as well as examining her reign, politics and reassesses Elizabeth’s reluctance to marry, a matter for which she has been much praised, but which is here judged one of the second queen regnant’s more problematic decisions. Judith M. Richards takes an objective and rounded view of Elizabeth’s whole life and provides the perfect introduction for students and general readers alike.

YOU THOUGHT YOUR LIFE WAS COMPLICATED Private investigator Isabel Spellman is back on the case and back on the couch -- in court-ordered therapy after getting a little too close to her previous subject. As the book opens, Izzy is on hiatus from Spellman Inc. But when her boss, Milo, simultaneously cuts her bartending hours and introduces her to a "friend" looking for a private eye, Izzy reluctantly finds herself with a new client. She assures herself that the case -- a suspicious husband who wants his wife tailed -- will be short and sweet, and will involve nothing more than the most boring of PI rituals: surveillance. But with each passing hour, Izzy finds herself with more questions than hard evidence. Meanwhile, Spellmania continues. Izzy's brother, David, the family's most upright member, has adopted an uncharacteristically unkempt appearance and attitude toward work, life, and Izzy. And their wayward youngest sister, Rae, a historic academic underachiever, aces the PSATs and subsequently offends her study partner and object of obsession, Detective Henry Stone, to the point of excommunication. The only unsurprising behavior comes from her parents, whose visits to Milo's bar amount to thinly veiled surveillance and artful attempts (read: blackmail) at getting Izzy to return to the Spellman Inc. fold. As the case of the wayward wife continues to vex her, Izzy's personal life -- and mental health -- seem to be disintegrating. Facing a housing crisis, she can't sleep, she can't remember where she parked her car, and, despite her shrinks' persistence, she can't seem to break through in her appointments. She certainly can't explain why she forgets dates with her lawyer's grandson, or fails to interpret the come-ons issued in an Irish brogue by Milo's new bartender. Nor can she explain exactly how she feels about Detective Henry Stone and his plans to move in with his new Assistant DA girlfriend... Filled with the signature side-splitting Spellman antics, Revenge of the Spellmans is an ingenious, hilarious, and disarmingly tender installment in the Spellman series.
