De las 110 cartas correspondientes a los últimos siete años de la vida de Francisco de Quevedo, (1639-1645), 42 fueron redactadas en los cuatro años que permaneció prisionero en la cárcel de San Marcos de León. Son cartas extensas e íntimas, dirigidas a dos distinguidos jesuitas con quienes Quevedo compartió con franqueza (pero bajo seudónimos) las noticias que recibía en la cárcel, incluyendo aquellas relacionadas con la actividad literaria, las campañas militares, la política y hasta sus propias parodias de las intrigas de los próceres de la corte. Estas cartas fueron copiadas con sumo cuidado por dos eruditos de principios del siglo dieciocho en un manuscrito inédito de gran interés y exactitud. La presente edición documenta los textos auténticos de las cartas, corrige atribuciones erróneas, identifica a los corresponsales del satírico y establece la cronología y la diagnosis de su larga y mortal enfermedad.

Francisco de Quevedo (1580–1645), one of the greatest poets of the Spanish Golden Age, was the master of the baroque style known as “conceptismo,” a complex form of expression fueled by elaborate conceits and constant wordplay as well as ethical and philosophical concerns. Although scattered translations of his works have appeared in English, there is currently no comprehensive collection available that samples each of the genres in which Quevedo excelled—metaphysical and moral poetry, grave elegies and moving epitaphs, amorous sonnets and melancholic psalms, playful romances and profane burlesques. In this book, Christopher Johnson gathers together a generous selection of forty-six poems—in bilingual Spanish-English format on facing pages—that highlights the range of Quevedo’s technical expertise and themes. Johnson’s ingenious solutions to rendering the difficult seventeenth-century Spanish into poetic English will be invaluable to students and scholars of European history, literature, and translation, as well as poetry lovers wishing to reacquaint themselves with an old master.

Francisco de Quevedo (Madrid, 1580-1645) was well known for his rich and dynamic style, achieved through an ingenious and complex manipulation of language. Yet he was also a consistent and systematic thinker, with moral philosophy, broadly understood, lying at the core of his numerous and varied works. Quevedo lived in an age of transition, with the Humanist tradition on the wane, and his writing expresses the characteristic uncertainty of a moment of cultural transition. In this book Alfonso Rey surveys Quevedo's ideas in such diverse fields as ethics, politics, religion and literature, ideas which hitherto have received little attention. New information is also provided towards a reconstruction of the cultural evolution of Europe in the years prior to the Enlightenment, and thus the scope of the book extends beyond that of Spanish literature.

Annotation Between 1605 and 1621, Quevedo wrote a sequence of five "Dreams" or "Visions" "(Suenos y discursos), in each of which he hilariously envisions Spanish society as populated by people rightfully condemned to Hell. These astonishingly witty and irreverent satires of contemporary Spanish culture, morality, prejudice and religious fanaticism, were composed in a style as allusive, elliptical and equivocal as to successfully entertain both those who barely understood their full range and import, and others who celebrated the poet's rebellious insinuations. Censorship prohibited the publication of such satire in its original form, but hundreds of copies were made by hand and circulated widely. In 1993 a critical edition of all of the surviving manuscripts was published. Crosby's work compares this version with all of the 43 extant manuscripts, and for the first time identifies those groups of manuscripts from which the publishers of the first edition derived their text. This text can now be seen as a version not only censored, but corrupted successively by copyists and editors who did not understand Quevedo's satire. The result is hardly what Spain's most famous satirist originally wrote.

Pornographic Sensibilities stages a conversation between two fields—Medieval/Early Modern Hispanic Studies and Porn Studies—that traditionally have had little to say to each other. The collection offers innovative new approaches to the study of gendered and sexualized bodies in medieval and early modern textual production, including literary and historical documents. The volume’s embrace of the interpretative tools of Porn Studies also inscribes a critical provocation: in what ways can contemporary modes of reading the past serve to freshly illuminate not only the contours of that same past but also the very critical assumptions of the present upon which fields like medieval and early modern Hispanic Studies are built? In this way, Pornographic Sensibilities encourages at once both rigorous historicizations of pre- and early-modern culture, and playful engagement with "presentism," considered here as a critical tool to undress the hidden assumptions of both past and present. This move substantively challenges long-held critical orthodoxies among scholars of pre-Enlightenment periods, for whom the very category of "pornography" itself has often problematically been framed as an anachronism when applied to their work.

El trabajo consiste en el análisis y la edición de la primera biografía de Francisco de Quevedo escrita por el sacerdote napolitano Pablo Antonio de Tarsia. La amistad del escritor italiano con el sobrino de Quevedo don Pedro Aldrete tras su llegada a la Corte española en 1644 en calidad de jurisconsulto del conde de Conversano propició la redacción de este primero documento biográfico exento sobre el escritor madrileño. La edición prínceps de la Vida de don Francisco de Quevedo, que salió a la luz de la imprenta de Pablo de Val en Madrid en el año 1663, se ha reeditado en reducidas ocasiones y en facsímil, por lo que la obra requería un estudio preciso y una edición moderna. El prólogo profundiza con una perspectiva crítica en la creación del escritor napolitano analizando, entre otras cosas, los móviles que promovieron su publicación, el discurso apologético de la semblanza y los límites entre la verdad y la ficción; asimismo pretende ofrecer una edición anotada fiel al original de la princeps con observaciones a pie de página de diverso contenido ?histórico, filológico, cultural y literario? para facilitar al lector una adecuada interpretación de la obra.

Con este corpus epistolar nos acercamos, casi de la mano de don Francisco de Quevedo, al periodo 1635-1645, en el que España se ve envuelta en guerras, con frentes en el interior y en el exterior: los problemas separatistas de Cataluña y Portugal, la caída del conde-duque, la guerra contra Francia, la lucha por la permanencia del Imperio y los problemas del ejército imperial en Italia y en Flandes. Quevedo no supo cómo acabaron la mayor parte de los conflictos que vio iniciarse. Quevedo comparte con Sancho de Sandoval, su vecino en Beas de Segura, sus preocupaciones sobre la marcha de los intereses de España. Pero estamos ante una correspondencia de carácter privado, de manera que, al leer estas cartas, vemos a un hombre mayor en su señorío, con sus costumbres manchegas, pendiente de las noticias de la Corte y también de construir un pozo de nieve, al tío orgulloso de sus sobrinos, al encarcelado que sale de prisión, al anciano que ve acercarse la muerte. Las cartas se abren con la imagen de un caballero desengañado que se retira a su señorío en busca de una vida diferente, alejado de una Corte que le repele, tal vez porque también le ignora. Diez años más tarde, aquel caballero se ha convertido en un anciano que valora el día que vive comparándole con el anterior, recién trasladado a Villanueva de los Infantes, buscando compañía para morir, huyendo de su soledad y desamparo en la Torre de Juan Abad, donde no hay nadie que le asista.

In terms of its popularity, as well as its production, chocolate was among the first foods to travel from the New World to Spain. Chocolate: How a New World Commodity Conquered Spanish Literature considers chocolate as an object of collective memory used to bridge the transatlantic gap through Spanish literary works of the early modern period, tracing the mention of chocolate from indigenous legends and early chronicles of the conquistadors to the theatre and literature of Spain. The book considers a variety of perspectives and material cultures, such as the pre-Colombian conception of chocolate, the commercial enterprise surrounding chocolate, and the darker side of chocolate’s connections to witchcraft and sex. Encapsulating both historical and literary interests, Chocolate will appeal to anyone interested in the global history of chocolate.

Royal Favouritism and the Governing Elite of the Spanish Monarchy, 1640-1665 presents a study of the later years of the reign of Philip IV from the perspective of his favourite (valido), don Luis Mendez de Haro, and of the other ministers who helped govern the Spanish Habsburg Monarchy. It offers a positive vision of a period that is often seen as one of failure and decline. Unlike his predecessors, Haro exercised the favour that he enjoyed in a discreet way, acting as a perfect courtier and honest broker between the king and his aristocratic subjects. Nevertheless, Alistair Malcolm also argues that the presence of a royal favourite at the head of the government of Spain amounted to a major problem. The king's delegation of his authority to a single nobleman was considered by many to have been incompatible with good kingship, and Philip IV was himself very uneasy about failing in his responsibilities as a ruler. Haro was thus in a highly insecure situation, and sought to justify his regime by organizing the management of a prestigious and expensive foreign policy. In this context, the eventual conclusion of the very honourable peace with France in 1659 is shown to have been as much the result of the independent actions of other ministers as it was of a royal favourite very reluctantly brought to the negotiating table at the Pyrenees. By conclusion, the quite sudden collapse of Spanish European hegemony after Haro's death in 1661 is represented as a delayed reaction to the repercussions of a flawed system of government.
