Masculine Virtue in Early Modern Spain extricates the history of
masculinity in early modern Spain from the narrative of Spain's
fall from imperial power after 1640. This book culls genres as
diverse as emblem books, poetry, drama, courtesy treatises and
prose fiction, to restore the inception of courtiership at the
Spanish Hapsburg court to the history of masculinity. Refuting the
current conception that Spain's political decline precipitated a
'crisis of masculinity', Masculine Virtue maps changes in
figurations of normative masculine conduct from 1500 to 1700. As
Spain assumed the role of Europe's first modern centralized empire,
codes of masculine conduct changed to meet the demands of global
rule. Viewed chronologically, Shifra Armon shows Spanish conduct
literature to reveal three axes of transformation. The ideal
subject (gendered male in both practice and law) became
progressively more adaptable to changing circumstances, more
intensely involved in currying his own public image, and more
desirous of achieving renown. By bringing recent advances in gender
theory to bear on normative rather than non-normative masculinities
of early modern Spain, Armon is able to foreground the emergence of
energizing new models of masculine virtue that continue to resonate
today.
