By exploring textual, visual and material culture, this volume
presents a range of new research into the experiences, agencies and
diverse political identities of Iberian women between the fifteenth
and early-eighteenth century. Representing Women's Political
Identity in the Early Modern Iberian World explores how the
political identities of Iberian women were represented in various
forms of visual culture including: religious paintings and
portraiture; costume; and devotional and funerary sculpture. This
study examines the transmission of Iberian culture and its concepts
of identity to locations such as Peru, Goa and Mexico, providing a
rich insight into Iberia's complex history and legacy. The
collection of essays explores the lives of protagonists, which vary
from queens and members of the nobility to painters and nuns,

fourteen essays of this volume engage in distinct ways with the
matter of motion in early modern Spanish poetics, without limiting
the dialectic of stasis and movement to any single sphere or
manifestation. Interrogation of the interdependence of tradition
and innovation, poetry, power and politics, shifting signifiers,
the intersection of topography and deviant temporalities, the
movement between the secular and the sacred, tensions between
centres and peripheries, issues of manuscript circulation and
reception, poetic calls and echoes across continents and centuries,
and between creative writing and reading subjects, all demonstrate
that Helgerson's central notion of conspicuous movement is relevant
beyond early sixteenth-century secular poetics, By opening it up we
approximate a better understanding of poetry's flexible
spatio-temporal co-ordinates in a period of extraordinary
historical circumstances and conterminous radical cultural
transformation. Los catorce ensayos de este volumen conectan de una
manera perceptible con el tema del movimiento en la poesia espanola
del siglo de oro, sin limitar la dialectica de la estasis y
movimiento a una sola esfera o manifestacion unica. Entre los
multiples enfoques cabe destacar: el cuestionamiento de la
interdependencia de la tradicion e inovacion, de la poesia, del
poder y la politica, de los sigantes que se transforman, de los
espacios que conectan y cruzan con los tiempos 'desviados';
analisis de las tensiones entre lo sagrado y lo secular, del
conflicto centro-periferia y del complejo sistema de produccion,
circulaciony recepcion de los manuscritos; el dialogo con el eco
poetico a traves de los siglos y de los continentes y la
construccion creativa del sujeto escritor y/o lector. Al abrir la
nocion central de Helgerson del "movimiento cono" mas alla de la
poesia nueva secular, este libro propone un entendimiento mas
completo de las coordinadas espacio-temporales de la poesia en un
periodo de circunstancias historicas extrao Jean Andrews is

Her Fated Place is a poem in four chapters telling the story of a
young woman from the West of Ireland who makes her way from
domestic service on an Irish landed estate to the sophistication of
post-World War II Rome and its expatriate community via the London
Blitz. Along the way she is exposed to the prevailing debates of
the times, on religious sectarianism and piety, fascism, communism
and tyranny, post-war guilt and triumphalism, all the while keeping
her own counsel and coming to a surprising but not unexpected
conclusion of her own in the end.
Carmen Conde is a major figure in twentieth-century Spanish
poetry. Though neglected up to now, "Mientras los Hombres Mueren"
is the most important collection of war poetry to emerge from the
Spanish Civil War. It was first published, in a limited edition, in
Italy in 1953. Though it has been included in its entirety in
anthologies of her work published in Spain in 1967, 1986 and 2007,
this is the first free-standing edition since 1953 and the first
ever critical edition.
The collection was written in 1938-39, in Valencia, then the
seat of the Republican Government. In prose poetry densely packed
with imagery of nightmarish destruction, Conde gives voice to the
experience of women and children suffering bombardment from air and
sea, hunger and homelessness, and the loss of husbands, brothers
and fathers at the front. The second half of the collection, "A los
ninos muertos en la guerra," is an extended elegy for all those
children killed in bombing raids during the war.
This edition will be of interest to students and scholars of the
Civil War and lovers of Spanish poetry in general.
The poems in Lunatica derive from simple things around us in
everyday life: the wild animals which live amongst us, domesticated
ones who live with us, landscapes, cityscapes, people we observe
but don't know, and the moon shining down, serene and silent, on
all of it.
The original poems in this collection give voice to familiar female
figures from Irish mythology, Irish folk history and folklore. The
Gaelic tradition is highly sympathetic to its women protagonists.
It has plenty of them and they have plenty to say for themselves,
not all of it genteel. This series of poems provides a continuum
from the ancient tales of the Tuatha de Danaan and the Red Branch
up to an instance of politicised defence of folklore at the cusp of
the second millennium. It is followed by a translation of the
Lament for Arthur O'Leary composed, as was the custom, over the
course of the laying out of his body and his funeral, by his widow
Eibhlin Dhubh Ni Chonaill (c.1743-?) in Co. Cork in 1773. Eibhlin
is one of the great poetic voices of the Gaelic tradition and the
Lament one of its finest poems.
Carmen Conde (1907-1996) lived and worked in the Republican zone
during the Spanish Civil War while her husband served at the front
line. Her third collection of poetry, While the Men are Dying was
written in Valencia as bombs fell, her city endured privation and
her country was being torn apart. When the war ended, a known
pro-Republican intellectual, she went into hiding and was forced to
write under pseudonyms to make a living. These prose poems which
describe the full horror of the impact of war on a civilian
population and which empathise deeply with the sacrifice of the
young men at the front were first published in Spain thirty years
later, by then too late to be recognised as some of the most
important and powerful poetry to emerge from the Spanish Civil War.
In An Oubliette is a lyrical, evocative meditation on the awful
consequences of war. It is told in poems which sometimes describe
real battlefields, sometimes those of the heart. A story of many
strands with voices from the Crusades, the Napoleonic Wars, the
Second World War, and other conflicts. Narrated by a cast of
characters from across the ages, some major figures from history,
others part of the common mass of humanity.
Out of the Woods: A Bird Watcher's Year is a journey through the
seasons and a joyous celebration of growing old. In fifty-nine
essays and poems, Ora E. Anderson, birder, bird carver, naturalist,
and nature writer, reveals the insights and recollections of a
keen-eyed observer of nature, both human and avian. The essays
follow the rivers and creeks, the highways and little-known byways
of Appalachia, and along the way we become nearly as familiar with
its numerous bird, plant, and animal species as with the author
himself.
These are not the memories of a single year, however, but of a
long lifetime spent immersed in the natural world. Out of the
Woods, presented with humor and passion, is an account of a
well-lived, productive, and satisfying life. The essays offer an
intimate portrait of a half century of life on Anderson's beloved
old farm (more nearly a nature preserve), where he lived in harmony
with birds and nature and followed the rhythm of the seasons. We
are invited to share the joys-and the disappointments and
sorrows-inherent in such a life.
Generously illustrated with Julie Zickefoose's detailed drawings
and evocative sketches, this book will delight bird watchers,
artists, naturalists, backyard gardeners, and anyone who is
sometimes tempted to take a rutted, overgrown, and unused path just
to see where it leads.
Luis de Morales, known as El Divino because of his intensely
religious subject matter, is the most significant and recognisable
Spanish painter of the mid-sixteenth century, the high point of the
Spanish and Portuguese counter-reformations. He spent almost his
entire working life in the Spanish city of Badajoz, not far from
the border with Portugal and did not travel outside of a small area
around that city, covering both sides of the border. The social,
political and cultural environment of Badajoz and its environs is
crucial for a thorough understanding of his output. This book
provides that context in detail, looking at literature and
liturgical theatre, the situation of converted Jews and Muslims,
the presence of Erasmianism, Lutheranism and Illuminism
(Alumbradismo), devotional writing for lay people and proximity to
the Braganca ducal palace in Portugal as a means of explaining this
most enigmatic of painters.

A collection of short stories by 12 contemporary Spanish writers
including Javier Cercas and Paloma Diaz-Mas. The settings vary from
the exotic (Salome at the court of King Herod, the palace of a
Moorish king with a half-mermaid daughter) to the historical (a
little boy's experience of life in rural Spain under Franco), the
fantastic (travelling the world through a labyrinth of built-in
wardrobes) and the Chandleresque "film noir." Each of the stories
follows a traveller or travellers, who, in the course of the tale,
become lost to reality in some way, or alientated from their
expectations and ideals. Sometimes these escapes are temporary, and
the protagonist has to return to the everyday world. Sometimes they
are permanent. Sometimes the travel is geographical as well as
mental. In each case these fugues are metaphors; for contemporary
Spanish life in some instances, for the whole of modern experience
in others.
