Erudición y lucro en la República literaria barroca: a propósito de María de Zayas
Abstract
The print production of María de Zayas represents an absolute achievement within the seventeenth-century Respublica litteraria, in its most commercial side: the business of prose fiction, one of the most lucrative ones of the age. Nevertheless, there is still certain reluctance to consider it on a par with that of other important authors on grounds of gender. This essay, therefore, aims to provoke a more ample and nuanced study of her work within this great scholarly community, namely through an analysis of authorial and editorial strategies, rooted in comparative book history.
This essay aims to provoke a more critical analysis of women's scholarly contributions by identifying and explaining continuities and discontinuities in publishing strategies over time across borders. More specifically, it locates the publications of two notable cases, Luisa Sigea and Margaret Cavendish, within the larger context of premodern knowledge communities -- namely, by showing the conventional, rhetorical value of their works' paratextual and metadiscursive practices, including the use of gendered stances, in relation to classical and modern ones (i.e. the emphasis on an author's female gender served as a promotional point to target -- by identification, empathy, or curiosity -- various interpretive communities / reading markets). Ultimately, it argues that, as cultural products, Sigea and Cavendish's publications served various social needs, chiefly a scholarly one -- again, this collective, mixed-sex intent is reflected in the publications' constant interaction (i.e. adherence, re-adaptation) of traditional and modern conventions, male and female.
In this article the survival of the sapphic fragments of the ancient times in Renaissance period is examined. More specifically the reappearance of the sapphic verses is presented concerning the first publications (editio princeps) and the most widespread texts of ancient authors during West Renaissance. These texts were the primary sources, on which the later publications of the sapphic work were based, while they also had a great influence on the reception of the ancient poet by the Renaissance writers.
RESUMEN
El proceso de comercialización del producto literario, inducido en primera instancia por la llegada de la imprenta al mundo occidental, se manifestó de forma contundente, tanto material como discursivamente, durante el siglo XVII. El proceso se percibe en el marcado afán mercantil que caracteriza la construcción de la autoría, masculina y femenina, en publicaciones impresas, y en especial en obras de ficción, dramáticas y relaciones de sucesos. Dichas construcciones son de vital importancia para comprender el campo literario durante los albores de la profesión literaria en el mundo occidental, pues documentan prácticas autoriales y editoriales comunes en la época. Con todo, los referentes de autoría femenina que han llegado hasta nosotros siguen considerándose excepcionales o atípicos por razones de género, por lo que raramente reciben la atención que merecen por parte de los historiadores del libro. El presente trabajo reflexiona sobre el concepto de autor y sus implicaciones para la recepción de la obra literaria mediante el análisis de las estrategias de autopromoción de Ana Caro de Mallén, puestas en relación con las utilizadas por Lope de Vega. El propósito es demostrar el carácter habitual y no excepcional del caso, además de promover una mejor consideración de las obras literarias áureas de autoría femenina dentro de la historia del libro ibérico.
The notion and construction of authorship has been reinterpreted and shaped throughout history. In the Iberian world, the rise of authorial self-consciousness begins to manifest in the early thirteenth century, thanks to the gradual rise of vernacular languages as literary languages, which afforded a new understanding of the writer’s craft and place in society. The establishment of decrees within the sixteenth-century book trade reshaped it by making it compulsory to register on the work certain bibliographical details. The turn of the seventeenth century, furthermore, witnessed a rapid commercialization of the literary product — despite remaining rooted in a system of patronage, literary production began to give way to the active role of printer-publishers and booksellers. Writing for publication was a complex venture for most aspiring authors, to be sure. Nevertheless, pre-modern literary careers continue to be qualified, chiefly upon gender grounds. This essay, therefore, will reflect on the role of gender in early constructions of female authorship within Iberian book history, using a critical stance informed by new approaches to the field. It is hoped that it will help to provoke more nuanced discussions on the role of women as cultural producers within the pre-modern Iberian literary field.
Este artículo reconstruye la biografía de la dramaturga andaluza del Siglo de Oro Ana Caro Mallén, aportando informaciones desconocidas hasta ahora como su lugar y fecha de nacimiento y fallecimiento, su nombre completo y su primer y segundo apellido y referencias documentales inéditas sobre su entorno familiar, personal y literario. Los datos más sorprendentes de esta biografía son que la autora nació en Granada, bajo la condición de esclava.This article reconstructs the biography of the playwright Andalusian Golden Age Ana Caro Mallen, providing previously unknown information as place and date of birth and death, your full name and your first and last name and unpublished documentary references about their family, personal and literary. The most striking of this biography is that the author was born in Granada, under the condition of a slave.
Giovanni Boccaccio played a pivotal role in the extraordinary emergence of the Italian literary tradition in the fourteenth century, not only as author of the Decameron, but also as scribe of Dante, Petrarch and Cavalcanti. Using a single codex written entirely in Boccaccio's hand, Martin Eisner brings together material philology and literary history to reveal the multiple ways Boccaccio authorizes this vernacular literary tradition. Each chapter offers a novel interpretation of Boccaccio as a biographer, storyteller, editor and scribe, who constructs arguments, composes narratives, compiles texts and manipulates material forms to legitimize and advance a vernacular literary canon. Situating these philological activities in the context of Boccaccio's broader reflections on poetry in the Decameron and the Genealogy of the Gentile Gods, the book produces a new portrait of Boccaccio that integrates his vernacular and Latin works, while also providing a new context for understanding his fictions.
For decades, the study of early modern women has been predicated on the assumption that patriarchy was a powerful force in early modern society, subsuming women’s interests to those of men and repressing women’s opportunities and thoughts to such a degree that most if not all women had to struggle to find personal satisfaction and be recognised for individual achievement. However, for more than forty years, the research by scholars of early modern women has vividly demonstrated that large numbers of women, both as individuals and in groups, successfully resisted patriarchal expectations and institutions. In this article, I argue that although patriarchy existed in early modern society, an examination of the scholarship in the aggregate indicates that we can no longer assume that it was the dominant or sole set of gender expectations. Early modern patriarchy was weak and easily challenged by everyone from peasant women to queens, suggesting that many people (both women and men) expressed an agentic set of gender norms that valued and expected women’s political, economic and intellectual activity.

In this joint paper Laura Muñoz Pérez and Trevor Dadson will examine the possibilities women had when participating in the cultural life at court, showing the relationships of patronage between noblewomen, women writers and other writers, and how this was also a way of promotion. Tied in with this will be an examination of the role of noblewomen in society at large, in particular the fact that they had more power and influence than is usually ascribed to them, especially but not solely if they were widows, when they often ended up running vast estates in the name of their eldest son (if they had one). Also, as ladies at court (‘damas de la reina’) these noblewomen had another form of influence, as they often acted as the eyes and ears of their fathers, brothers and husbands. The largely female court established around the Empress María of Austria in the Descalzas Reales in the early seventeenth century has been the subject of study, but the royal court under Philip III and Philip IV and the powerful women there still requires attention.
There is no part in the modern book as dependent to rhetorical constriction as the prologue is. Even a minuscule deviation from the prescriptive norm should, in consequence, be thoroughly considered as a possible indication of the progressive intrusion of the author in the world of literary production. In early modern times, the prologists often despise or repudiate their own work as belonging to a closed period of their lives; later, however, commonplaces concerning the denial of authorial responsibility move the point of the discussion to the intrinsic value of the work: the author, in those cases, decides to print his or her work because of the ceaseless requests to do so from acquaintances, or maybe just to avoid the degrading of the right wording of the work itself, which they usually attribute to manuscript circulation. In the Low Baroque, the analysis of the different ways poets chose in order to accept or deny their authorial responsibility might help to systematically classify their diverse attitudes concerning their integration in the Republic of Letters. In this sense, the adoption of a burlesque tone in the presentation of one’s own work is particularly worthy of scrupulous examination.
Published just after the Second World War, European Literature and the Latin Middle Ages is a sweeping exploration of the remarkable continuity of European literature across time and place, from the classical era up to the early nineteenth century, and from the Italian peninsula to the British Isles. In what T. S. Eliot called a "magnificent" book, Ernst Robert Curtius establishes medieval Latin literature as the vital transition between the literature of antiquity and the vernacular literatures of later centuries. The result is nothing less than a masterful synthesis of European literature from Homer to Goethe. This is the sort of book which takes much of a man's lifetime to produce and which can be read again and again with profit and pleasure. In effect it is an analysis of medieval Latin literature as a major stage in the transition from the Graeco-Roman classics to the modern vernacular literatures. No forbidding catalogue of periods, authors, and works, but literary criticism and literary history by a thoughtful scholar at home in classical, medieval, and modern literature, this is a powerfully presented and richly informative study of medieval standards, values, assumptions and literary conventions.--The Virginia Quarterly Review. © 1953 by Bollingen Foundation, inc. © 1983 by princeton university press.
This innovative study shows how printing and translation transformed English literary culture in the Renaissance. Focusing on the century after Caxton brought the press to England in 1476, Coldiron illustrates the foundational place of foreign, especially French language, materials. The book reveals unexpected foreign connections between works as different as Caxton's first printed translations, several editions of Book of the Courtier, sixteenth–century multilingual poetry, and a royal Armada broadside. Demonstrating a new way of writing literary history beyond source–influence models, the author treats the patterns and processes of translation and printing as co–transformations. This provocative book will interest scholars and advanced students of book history, translation studies, comparative literature and Renaissance literature.
'Transnationalism' refers to multiple ties and interactions linking people or institutions across the borders of nation-states. This book surveys the broader meanings of transnationalism within the study of globalization before concentrating on migrant transnational practices. Each chapter demonstrates ways in which new and contemporary transnational practices of migrants are fundamentally transforming social, political and economic structures simultaneously within homelands and places of settlement. Transnationalism provides a much-needed single, clear and condensed text concerning a major concept in academic and policy discourse today. The book is for advanced undergraduate students, postgraduates and academics.
Contrariamente a lo que se suele exponer sobre la literatura en castellano, la Edad Media, el Renacimiento y el Barroco dieron a luz una serie importante de textos en defensa de la mujer. Este libro pretende historiografiar los textos de una tradición en la literatura hispánica que constituyen eslabones de la misma cadena: la defensa de la mujer como concepto intelectual y literario. Partimos en este estudio de textos medievales, sobre todo de la primera mitad del siglo XV, y acabamos con documentos del siglo XVII que anteceden directamente las vindicaciones del siglo xviii que se convertirán en la base del pensamiento ilustrado con respecto a la temática genérica y sexual.

The expression “ République des lettress” is still used today. It appears in most recent dictionaries of the French language, and it even occasionally occurs in ordinary conversation or in the press, a pompous and ironic circumlocution to designate the Parisian literary “milieu.” This archaistic and pejorative survival masks (somewhat similarly to the word “rhetoric”) the attention that researchers are now according to the older meaning of this surviving expression, and to the concept of an international exchange of ideas that it represented for scholars of the Ancien Régime. As proof that this scientific interest is recent, Paul Hazard, in the famous Crise de la conscience européenne (1936), devotes not a single line to the “Republic of Letters,” while in the chapter dealing with Pierre Bayle he cites the “ Nouvelles de la République des Lettres” (1684), the learned periodical published in Amsterdam by this erudite Calvinist, apparently without feeling a need to explain a title that seemed self-evident. For the history of ideas, this notion was not a subject for history. It resided outside the field of perception of a discipline that was completely devoted to a sort of chemistry of pure ideas, removed from the literary form that carried them, and a fortiori from institutional circuits, and forms of sociability and dialogue that “invent” and spread them, and even more so from the awareness that “scholars” might have had of the solidarity that united them and of the meaning they might be able to attribute to it.
In Bibliography and the Sociology of Texts, D. F. McKenzie shows how the material form of texts crucially determines their meanings. He unifies the principal interests of both critical theory and textual scholarship to demonstrate that, as all works of lasting value are reproduced, re-edited and re-read, they take on different forms and meanings. By witnessing the new needs of their new readers these new forms constitute vital evidence for any history of reading. McKenzie shows this is true of all forms of recorded information, including sound, graphics, films, representations of landscape and the new electronic media. The bibliographical skills first developed for manuscripts and books can, he shows, be applied to a wide range of cultural documents. This book, which incorporates McKenzie's classic work on orality and literacy in early New Zealand, offers a unifying concept of texts that seeks to acknowledge their variety and the complexity of their relationships.
