This book studies the Early Modern Spanish broadsheet, the tabloid
newspaper of its day which functioned to educate, entertain, and
indoctrinate its readers, much like today’s "fake news." Parker
Aronson incorporates a socio-historical approach in which she
considers crime and deviance committed by women in Early Modern
Spain and the correlation between crime and the growth of urban
centers. She also considers female deviance more broadly to
encompass sexual and religious deviance while investigating the
relationship between these pliegos sueltos and the transgressive
and disruptive nature of female criminality. In addition to an
introduction to this fascinating subgenre of Early Modern Spanish
literature, Parker Aronson analyzes the representations of women as
bandits and highway robbers; as murderers; as prostitutes,
libertines, and actors; as Christian renegades; as enlaved people;
as witches; as miscegenationists; and as the recipients of
punishment.
