Masculine Virtue In Early Modern Spain (New Hispanisms: Cultural And Literary Studies)

Culling genres as diverse as emblem books, poetry, drama, courtesy treatises and prose-fiction, this study extricates the history of masculinity in early modern Spain from the narrative of Spain's fall from imperial power after 1640. Drawing on recent developments in gender theory, Masculine Virtue shows how the inception of courtiership at the Spanish Hapsburg court generated new models of masculine virtue that continue to resonate today.
