Although the Spanish Inquisition looms large in many conceptions of the early modern Hispanic world, relatively few studies have been made of the Spanish state and Inquisition’s approach to book censorship in the seventeenth century. Merging archival and rare book research with a case study of the fiction of Baltasar Gracián, this book argues that privileged authors, like the Jesuit Gracián, circumvented publication strictures that were meant to ensure that printed materials conformed to the standards of Catholicism and supported the goals of the absolute monarchy. In contrast to some elite authors who composed readily transparent critiques of authorities and encountered difficulties with the state and Inquisition, others, like Gracián, made their criticisms covertly in complicated texts like El Criticón.
Considers current events through an examination of this seventeenth-century philosopher. In recent years there has been a revival of interest in the writings of Baltasar Gracian, a seventeenth-century Spanish Jesuit who explored the political uses of rhetoric. Gracian is best known in the United States for his bestselling collection of aphorisms entitled The Art of Worldly Wisdom. The essays in this volume focus on the relevance of Gracian's writings in our own day, when the importance of rhetoric as a discipline necessary to manage public life is indisputable. Wide-ranging in focus, these essays demonstrate that Gracian's work offers insights into the deployment of rhetoric under the "New World Order".
Publisher Description
This is the final volume of Smith's distinguished and groundbreaking trilogy on hispanic literature. For the first time, it gives a theoretical account of "race" and nationality in Spanish and Spanish-American literature, covering a wide range of texts--from Spain, Mexico, and Argentina--from the fifteenth century to the present day.
This book offers a stylistic analysis of an early-twentieth-century Venezuelan writer known for his travel accounts, stories, novels, and essays. It concentrates on three novels: dolos rotos, Sangre patricidia, and Peregrina. It discusses contexts (criollismo and modernismo), summarizes plots, and examines sense impressions, imagery, and syntactic devices.
Kreiter-Kurylo's poems proclaim the beauty and abundance of this world-of memory, history, art and music, of outcasts and exemplars and the fragile, natural economies they inhabit-and as they do so, quietly they celebrate themselves. They are their own best source of wonder.
