Casuistry and Early Modern Spanish Literature examines a neglected
yet crucial field: the importance of casuistical thought and
discourse in the development of literary genres in early modern
Spain. Faced with the momentous changes wrought by discovery,
empire, religious schism, expanding print culture, consolidation of
legal codes and social transformation, writers sought innovation
within existing forms (the novella, the byzantine romance,
theatrical drama) and created novel genres (most notably, the
picaresque). These essays show how casuistry, with its questioning
of example and precept, and meticulous concern with conscience and
the particularities of circumstance, is instrumental in cultivating
the subjectivity, rhetorical virtuosity and spirit of inquiry that
we have come to associate with the modern novel.
