(Signature) of Hispanic and Italian Studies Department The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date October 17, 1994 DE.6 (2/88) ABSTRACT The vision of a beautiful garden has been a constant in man's imagination. Within the Judeo-Christian tradition, that vision was manifest as a longing for a return to the primeval paradise. Throughout the ages, this longing has found expression in art and literature and very often, the image of the garden has become associated, and even synonymous, with Heaven itself. In the Spanish literature of the late Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and the Baroque, the image of the garden as "hortus conclusus" enjoyed wide popularity. During the Middle Ages, that topos was mostly used in an allegorical context with a moralizing intent. In the Renaissance, the popularity of the topos decreased in favour of the concept and landscape of Arcadia, except in mystical literature, where it continued to flourish. The Spanish Counter-Reformation brought about a revival of religious intensity, often not without medieval undertones, and during this time. Arcadian Renaissance elements were carried over into the new epoch, albeit set into a new context, as the aesthetic appeal to the senses was now put in the service of God's praise. A parallel study of the treatment of gardens in literature in contrast with gardens in real life shows whether, in each epoch, real life gardens exerted an influence on imaginary gardens, or whether literary gardens were used as models for the creation of the real ones. From such a study it is possible to hypothesize that both, real and literary gardens can reflect the cultural climate of their times, and that any changes in their ii presentation can be indicative of changes in contemporary beliefs and concerns. The garden, concealed as a literary or philosophic topic, or as a commentary on social issues, can thus represent a place of learning and meditation, a plaisance for love and secrecy, a mere background for dramatic presentations, or an encomium in praise of God's creation. The five Spanish authors selected to test that hypothesis wrote at different periods and with different purposes. Their individual conception of the garden as a literary or ontological place has been studied and contrasted via a string of focal points: the type of garden conveyed, their view of the garden as a sacred place, the contrasting concepts of solitude and isolation related to different gardens; activities inside the garden; the possible changes a garden undergoes through mood perception and temporal variations; the garden residents' relationship to the divinity; and their hope for a return to paradise. Since the function implied by the authors of these five literary gardens reveals the audience they had in mind, it can be said that the garden has also the function of an exemplary text, and can thus be used as 1. a seductive didactic lesson; 2. as an admonitory moral "exemplvim"; 3. as a religious manual; 4. as a reflection on, and praise of, divine harmony; and 5. as a gallery of erudition. A garden is therefore able to disclose the attitudes and values projected onto it by its author and its time, allowing the reader a glimpse into its "Zeitgeist". iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ABSTRACT ii TABLE OF CONTENTS iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS vi INTRODUCTION 1 0.1 The History of Gardens 1 0.2 Spain: Gardens and Literature 31 CHAPTER I Gonzalo de Berceo's Perfect "Prado" in his Milaqros de Nuestra Senora 64 1.1 The Virgin Mary as locus amoenus 68 1.2 Elements of the "prado" 69 1.3 The Virgin-Garden Allegory 81 CHAPTER II Melibea's Precarious Paradise 95 2.1 First Encounter: A Violation of Space 97 2.2 Melibea's Model 100 2.3 Signs of Instability 106 2.4 Inversions 109 2.5 Shadows over Paradise 114 2.6 Paradise Cursed: The "Anti-Garden" 123 2.7 The Problem of "lujuria" in the Garden 126 2.8 Adam and Eve in the "huerto" 128 2.9 Three Views of the "huerto": Melibea, Elicia, Pleberio 133 CHAPTER III "Serving the Lord of the Garden" 146 3.1 Active Meditation: Drawing the Water from a Well 153 IV Page 3.2 Prayer of Quiet: Drawing Water with a Windlass 157 3.3 Prayer of Recollection: Water Flowing from Stream or Spring 162 3.4 Prayer of Union: Rain from Heaven Sent by God 167 CHAPTER IV Voices of Praise in the Gardens of Aula Dei 187 4.1 The Gardens of Aula de Dios 192 4.1.1 "Claustro" 192 4.1.2 "Sepulcro" 193 4.1.3 "Pensil" and "huerto" 196 4.1.4 Poet's Private Garden 200 4.1.5 Names of the Virgin Mary 206 4.1.6 "Campana" 212 4.2 Sounds and Silence in the Garden 214 4.2.1 Silence and Solitude 214 4.2.2 Silence that Speaks: Sounds within the Silence 219 4.3 Silent Voices of Praise and Admiration 223 4.3.1 Praise by Nature—for Nature 223 4.3.2 Praise by Nature—for Man 225 4.3.3 Praise by Man—for God 226 4.3.4 Praise by Nature—for God 228 CHAPTER V Love and Restraint in the Garden: The Presence of the Female in Soto de Rojas' Paralso cerrado para muchos. iardines abiertos para pocos 237 5.1 Mansiones 1-7 241 5.2 Art and Nature in Soto's Garden- Paradise 298 CONCLUSION 314 BIBLIOGRAPHY 351 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis is dedicated to Dr. Arsenio Pacheco, the "angel venerable" who, as teacher, supervisor, and inner guide has given me sufficient inspiration to last a lifetime.

VI INTRODUCTION 0.1 The History of Gardens Gardening is an art of peace that harbours a dream of paradise. The idea of the garden originated in societies that had achieved stability and could afford the time necessary for the cultivation of plants (Cowell 5) . * Only when a society had moved beyond agrarian survival and possessed the necessary surplus funds, as well as the desire to embellish one's surroundings, temples, and public buildings could gardens be planted and properly cared for (Vercelloni 9). ^ During periods of relatively high civilization, gardens could be established and enjoyed for their aesthetic purposes. With continual care and effort, a garden could develop from mere economic utility to fulfil man's "quest for beauty, peace, contentment and delight", and show that in the art of gardening, the hand, the head, and the heart of man must work in unison (Cowell 8). To enjoy a garden and its plants for fragrance and for visual pleasure was a sensual appeal that came to Europe from the Middle East (Vercelloni 9). Around 2500 B.C. in Egypt a high government official named Methen, who lived during the Fourth Dynasty under the reign of King Sneferu, gave orders to have his future tomb frescoed with a record of his life's work, and his story, told in hieroglyphics, clearly shows that his garden was very important to him. The description of the same implies that it was a pleasure garden containing ornamental and fruit trees, vines and ponds. As far as we know he was the first human being 2 to describe a garden and his testimony proves that there existed a tradition of gardening as an art as far back as 25 centuries before the beginning of the Christian era (Cowell 11). According to Luise Gothein in A History of Garden Art, a typical garden site of those times appears as follows: The house stands inside the garden, enclosed by a wall. The entrance door leads straight into the garden . and the visitor proceeds to the house, which has garden all around it. The most conspicuous place . is allotted to the vine arbour, where ripe grapes hang on a pergola . and among the trees are figs, pomegranates, and sycamores, which in their own avenue provide fruit and .

Diverse peoples acquired economic and political hegemony, they imposed laws, customs and artistic models which merged with pre-existing backgrounds and styles which then expanded throughout Northern European and African countries. Ideas from the East, such as science, religion and artistic models, fil- tered throughout the Mediterranean. Nomadic populations reached Mediterranean shores and so cultures and customs were brought to- gether for several centuries in a relatively small circle. It was on the edges of the Mediterranean where the two fundamental ideas of gar- den design, the formal and the informal, were created and confronted each other. Here, the garden became the idealization of a perfect and immutable world, the mimesis of nature.

  • The New World Mythology in Italian Epic Poetry: 1492-1650
    THE NEW WORLD MYTHOLOGY IN ITALIAN EPIC POETRY: 1492-1650 by CARLA ALOÈ A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Italian Studies School of Languages, Cultures, Art History and Music College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT My thesis explores the construction of the New World mythology as it appears in early modern Italian epic poems. It focuses on how Italian writers engage with and contribute to this process of myth-creation; how the newly created mythology relates to the political, social and cultural context of the time; and investigates extent to which it was affected by the personal agendas of the poets. By analysing three New World myths (Brazilian Amazons, Patagonian giants and Canadian pygmies), it provides insights into the perception that Italians had of the newly discovered lands in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries, as well as providing a greater understanding of the role that early modern Italy had in the ‘invention’ of the Americas.

    LANDSCAPES OF REVELATION: AN INQUIRY INTO SURREALISM IN THE LANDSCAPE by MICAH S. LIPSCOMB (Under the Direction of Judith Wasserman) ABSTRACT This thesis explores landscapes in which visitors can become emotionally and perceptually disoriented and imagine they are in a dream-like space. The surreal landscapes discussed range from an Italian Renaissance garden, to contemporary landscapes designed by professionals, to environments created by visionary artists. These diverse landscapes share elements of the art and literary movement of surrealism, especially their goal of eliciting revelations. The purpose of this thesis is three-fold: first, to analyze the techniques and forms that help create a surreal landscape; second, to elucidate the relationship between surrealism and landscape architecture; and third, to demonstrate the relevance of some of the ideas of surrealism to contemporary landscape architecture.

  • Performance and Visual Culture in Etruria: 7Th 2Nd Century BC
    Performance and Visual Culture in Etruria: 7th - 2nd Century BC Stephanie Anne Layton Marietta, Georgia Bachelor of Arts, The George Washington University, 2003 Master of Arts, Florida State University, 2006 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy McIntire Department of Art University of Virginia December 2013 © Copyright by Stephanie Anne Layton All rights Reserved December 2013 Abstract The Etruscan iconographic record is the primary source of information regarding performance activities, which include dance, music, gaming, ritual, spectacle, and athletics. In this study, performance theory is used as a framework for analyzing Etruscan material culture related to emically constructed and provisionally identified performance activities and ascertaining their meaning. Although evidence for Etruscan cultural activity, beliefs, and social interaction is limited, especially given the paucity of textual information, the application of performance theory to the archaeological record provides a means to analyze public and private transmission of messages, relationships, experiences, and cultural behaviors primarily in funerary and civic contexts. Although numerous Etruscan performances have been investigated individually by prior scholarship, performance theory has not been previously applied to Etruscan art and architecture and, therefore, this work takes a new approach towards the analysis of the archaeological record. Evidence included in this study dates between the 8th -2nd centuries BC and consists of wall painting, painted and relief vase decoration, stone and terracotta relief sculpture, engraved gems, and bronze mirrors, decorative attachments, figurines, and vessels. It is only through the study of such varied materials from a wide chronological range that a more complete understanding of Etruscan performance emerges.

  • Lena Henke's Sculptures Propose New Manners of Dwelling and Co
    Casting Call LENA HENKE’s sculptures propose new manners of dwelling and co-existence by Laura McLean-Ferris frieze no.194 128 april 2018 Henke_frieze194-v2.indd 128 14/03/2018 16:42 When a garment – let’s say a shirt – seems to overpower a person, the insult goes: ‘That shirt is wearing you.’ This light put-down describes a struggle for presence between the wearer and the worn. But what other objects are wear- ing you, dominating you, casting you to work for them? The sculptures of New York-based German artist Lena Henke are typified by an apprehension of site and occupancy and the quiet tug-of-war between personality and control. Ranging from table-top models of cities and buildings through human-scale sculptures to larger architectural interventions in public space, Henke’s work proposes a built environment that might suit her better. The artist displays a particular fondness for outdoor sculpture, the history of urban planning and natural- artificial features such as the grotto. She wrangles with the materials, designs, palette and tools that construct our fabricated environment, employing them to suggest other possibilities. Why do we have to live in a world that looks and feels like this one? It’s a question Henke has explored most directly in relation to the city of New York, where she relocated after completing her studies at the Städelschule in Frankfurt. Coincidentally, she arrived in the city at the same time as I did, in 2013. I’ve never perceived anywhere as completely fabricated as New York: whenever I walk near the intersection of Broadway and Lafayette Avenue, the landscape reminds me of a film set, an entirely constructed surface with shallow roots, populated by character actors.
