Writing for the Eyes in the Spanish Golden Age

Scholars of Spanish literature at US universities explore various aspects of the visual component in writing during the period. Among their topics are the pomegranate of Don Quixote 1.9, mirroring desire in early modern Spanish poetry, the goddess as emblem of sacred and profane love in Lope de Vega, and homiletic and pedagogical emblems in Francisco Garau and other Spanish Golden Age preachers. Quotations are in Spanish with English translation. Distributed in the US by Associated University Presses. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
