At the height of Maria de Zayas's popularity in the mid-eighteenth
century, the number of editions in print of her work was exceeded
only by the novels of Cervantes. But by the end of the nineteenth
century, Zayas had been excluded from the Spanish literary canon
because of her gender and the sociopolitical changes that swept
Spain and Europe. "Exemplary Tales of Love and Tales of Disillusion
"gathers a representative sample of seven stories, which features
Zayas's signature topics--gender equality and domestic
violence--written in an impassioned tone overlaid with conservative
Counter-Reformation ideology. This edition updates the scholarship
since the most recent English translations, with a new introduction
to Zayas's entire body of stories, and restores Zayas's author's
note and prologue, omitted from previous English-language editions.
Tracing her slow but steady progress from notions of ideal love to
love's treachery, "Exemplary Tales of Love and Tales of Disillusion
"will restore Zayas to her rightful place in modern letters.
