This title is about transforming medieval sentimental romance.
""Escape from the Prison of Love"" is an exploration of medieval
modes of subject constitution and their transformation in
fifteenth-century Spanish sentimental romance, with a particular
focus on Diego de San Pedro's ""Carcel de amor"". Drawing on
premodern psychological models, Robert Folger argues that courtly
self-fashioning through amatory performance provided an alternative
and threat to the medieval gradual build-up of the self through
hexis and habitus. In the light of the unsettling gender
implications for the courtly lover, says Folger, the authors of
sentimental fiction explored new ways of subject constitution based
not on passionate attachment but on identification. ""Carcel de
amor"" shows how new forms of writing and reading techniques and
authorship provided an avenue for a new notion of interiority that
was essential to the Golden Age of Spanish literature.
