Incomparable Realms offers a vision of Spanish culture and society
during the Golden Age, the period from 1500 to 1700 when Spain
unexpectedly rose to become the dominant European power. But in
what ways was this a 'Golden Age', and for whom? The relationship
between the Habsburg monarchy and the Church shaped the period,
with both constructing narratives to bind Spanish society together.
Incomparable Realms unpicks the impact of these on thought and
culture, and examines the people and perspectives such powerful
projections sought to eradicate. The book shows that the tension
between the heavenly and earthly realms, and in particular the
struggle between the spiritual and the corporeal, defines Golden
Age culture. In art and literature, mystical theology and moral
polemic, ideology, doctrine and everyday life, the problematic pull
of the body and of the material world is the unacknowledged force
behind early modern Spain. Life is a dream, as the title of
Calderon's famous play of the period proclaimed, but there is
always a body dreaming it.
