  • Affective Communities in Late-Medieval Iberian Literature
    AFFECTIVE COMMUNITIES IN LATE-MEDIEVAL IBERIAN LITERATURE A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Henry Samuel Berlin August 2011 © 2011 Henry Samuel Berlin AFFECTIVE COMMUNITIES IN LATE-MEDIEVAL IBERIAN LITERATURE Henry Samuel Berlin, Ph.D. Cornell University 2011 My dissertation offers a new account of the explosion of sentimental literature in fifteenth-century Iberia and, at the same time, suggests a new way of reading that literature. Through the concept of the affective community, which suggests that political, religious, and literary communities (genres) are held together and shaped not so much by shared emotion as by a shared ethical attitude toward emotion, I analyze exemplary works of the principal genres involved in this explosion: cancionero poetry and sentimental fiction. Other important genres such as the chronicle and chivalric fiction also play key roles in my analysis, and my approach throughout is comparative, dealing substantially with works not only from Castile, but also from the kingdoms of Portugal and Aragon. The most important texts in the dissertation are Pedro de Corral‘s Crónica sarracina (ca. 1430); Pedro, Constable of Portugal‘s Sátira de felice e infelice vida (ca. 1450); and the poetry of Ausiàs March (ca. 1397-1459). However, I also discuss moral, theological, and political treatises by crucial figures such as Alonso de Cartagena (1384-1456); Alfonso de Madrigal, el Tostado (1410-1455); Rodrigo Sánchez de Arévalo (ca. 1404-1470); Diego de Valera (1412-1488); Duarte I of Portugal (1391-1438); and the Infante Pedro, Duke of Coimbra (1392-1449).
