In Spain, the two hundred years that elapsed between the beginning
of the early modern period and the final years of the Habsburg
Empire saw a profusion of works written by women. Whether secular
or religious, noble or middle class, early modern Spanish women
actively composed creative works such as poetry, prose narratives,
and plays. The Routledge Research Companion to Early Modern Spanish
Women Writers covers the broad array of different kinds of writings
- literary as well as extra-literary - that these women wrote,
taking into consideration their subject positions and the cultural
and historical contexts that influenced and were influenced by
them. Beyond merely recognizing the individual women authors who
had influence in literary, religious, and intellectual circles,
this Research Companion investigates their participation in these
circles through their writings, as well as the ways in which their
texts informed Spain's cultural production during the early modern
period. In order to contextualize women's writings across the
historical and cultural spectrum of early modern Spain, the
Research Companion is divided into six sections of general thematic
interest: Women's Worlds; Conventual Spaces; Secular Literature;
Women in the Public Sphere; Private Circles; Women Travelers. Each
section is subdivided into chapters that focus on specific issues
or topics.
