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 Aragon, 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. OTHER
