Reading Illegitimacy in Early Iberian Literature presents
illegitimacy as a fluid, creative, and negotiable concept in early
literature which challenges society's definition of what is
acceptable. Through the medieval epic poems Cantar de Mio Cid and
Mocedades de Rodrigo, the ballad tradition, Cervantes's Novelas
ejemplares, and Lope de Vega's theatre, Geraldine Hazbun
demonstrates that illegitimacy and legitimacy are interconnected
and flexible categories defined in relation to marriage, sex,
bodies, ethnicity, religion, lineage, and legacy. Both categories
are subject to the uncertainties and freedoms of language and
fiction and frequently constructed around axes of quantity and
completeness. These literary texts, covering a range of
illegitimate figures, some with an historical basis, demonstrate
that truth, propriety, and standards of behaviour are not forged in
the law code or the pulpit but in literature's fluid system of
producing meaning.
