Reihe: The Medieval and Early Modern Iberian World

In Self-Fashioning and Assumptions of Identity in Medieval and Early Modern Iberia, editor Laura Delbrugge and contributors Jaume Aurell, David Gugel, Michael Harney, Daniel Hartnett, Mark Johnston, Albert Lloret, Montserrat Piera, Zita Eva Rohr, Núria Silleras-Fernández, Caroline Smith, Wendell P. Smith, and Lesley Twomey explore the applicability of Stephen Greenblatt's self-fashioning theory, framed in Elizabethan England, to medieval and Early Modern Portugal, Aragon, and Castile. Chapters examine self-fashioning efforts by monarchs, religious converts, nobles, commoners, and clergy in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries to establish the presence of self-identity creation in many contexts outside the original context explored in Greenblatt's Renaissance Self-Fashioning, greatly expanding the understanding of self-fashioning on diverse aspect of identity creation in late medieval and Early Modern Iberia.

Zielgruppe

Scholars of Iberian history, culture, and literature, especially those interested in applicability of Greenblatt's self-fashioning theory to medieval and Early Modern Iberia; also anyone interested with the development of self-identity.
