In early seventeenth-century Spain, the Castilian parliament
voted to elevate the newly beatified Teresa of Avila to co-patron
saint of Spain alongside the traditional patron, Santiago. Saint
and Nation examines Spanish devotion to the cult of saints and the
controversy over national patron sainthood to provide an original
account of the diverse ways in which the early modern nation was
expressed and experienced by monarch and town, center and
periphery. By analyzing the dynamic interplay of local and
extra-local, royal authority and nation, tradition and modernity,
church and state, and masculine and feminine within the
co-patronage debate, Erin Rowe reconstructs the sophisticated
balance of plural identities that emerged in Castile during a
central period of crisis and change in the Spanish world.
