My time spent there as the Joe and Mary Harper Fellow was both productive and pleasant. I am also grateful for numerous Travel Awards and for the Dissertation Enhancement Grant, both awarded by Vanderbilt University’s Graduate School, which allowed me to meet scholars in my field, improve my work, and to visit Iberian convents in person. I also owe a great debt of gratitude to Vanderbilt’s Department of Spanish and Portuguese, as well as to the members of my dissertation committee. Dr. Earl Fitz’s wisdom and encouragement, Dr. Jane Landers’s unique insight, and Dr. Victoria Burrus’s probing questions bettered this project and set the stage for future endeavors. I am especially thankful to my committee chair, Dr. Edward Friedman, whom I greatly admire, both as a person and a scholar, and hope to emulate. I could not have asked for a better advisor, and his patience and support throughout the years have been invaluable. Additionally, the support of my friends and colleagues at Vanderbilt and elsewhere means more to me than they could ever know. Finally, I would like to thank the members of my family for their continued love and support. I am indebted to my parents for encouraging and even indulging my love of reading. I am grateful that my devoted and patient husband stood by me as I completed coursework, took exams, and wrote my dissertation. His encouragement lifted my spirit even on the dark days. Most of all, I am thankful to be the mother of a curious, spirited, and sweet little boy, who constantly reminds me of what is truly important in life. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Page DEDICATION ................................................................................................................... iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ............................................................................................... iv INTRODUCTION ...............................................................................................................1 Chapter I.

Unfortunately, many of these convents have not survived and their records have vanished along with them. Although there may be no way to know the exact number of convents on the Iberian Peninsula during the Golden Age or how many women inhabited them, evidence still remains of a rich artistic and literary life that flourished intramuros. We know that nuns painted, wove tapestries, cooked, sang, and wrote literature. Autobiographical accounts of nuns such as Santa Teresa de Jesús, known as vidas, have captured the attention of many scholars, perhaps due to the fascinating mystic tradition manifest in those texts. The vibrant theatrical tradition of the convent, however, has largely gone unnoticed. As Lisa Vollendorf argues, “This lack of attention can be attributed to the problem of access to texts and to the tendency among those of us trained as secular humanists to shy away from religious topics” (95). Fortunately, recent efforts have promoted a new awareness of convent plays, although it seems safe to say that the great majority of Golden Age scholars have little or no interest in authors such as Sor Maria do Ceo and Sor Marcela de San Félix. Thankfully, the new surge in scholarship in this area has produced new editions of many of these texts, thereby making them available to a wider public and 1 encouraging their study. Nevertheless, academic criticism of these works has largely been limited to introductions and footnotes. Some critics do not hesitate to disparage this type of theater. In his article about women dramatists, Emilio Palacios Fernández discusses female playwrights such as Joanna Theodora de Souza and Maria do Ceo. Although he admits that the publication and presentation of their works constitutes a “fenómeno cultural,” he pointedly insists that “su producción dramatica no está a la misma altura que la del varón (más amplia y diversa)” (131). Palacios Fernández seems to take note of these women only in order to prove them lacking by comparison. Notwithstanding this example, criticism of this nature is the exception rather than the rule. In fact, the lack of attention that convent theater receives is due mostly to sins of omission, rather than commission. As a case in point, convent theater is largely absent from many theater anthologies and histories. For example, Ignacio Arellano’s Historia del teatro español del siglo XVII does not make mention of the convent theater tradition or any of the known peninsular nun playwrights. It does, however, discuss theater used for pedagogical purposes in Jesuit schools, the works of Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, and autos sacramentales. Convent theater shares many points of contact with each of these, and yet has no place in this work. It is interesting to note that Arellano places Sor Juana, along with Ana Caro, in a section titled “Dramaturgos menores del ciclo de Calderón” (579; my emphasis), and that he makes no mention whatsoever of María de Zayas. Henryk Ziomek commits a similar omission in his less extensive study, A History of Spanish Golden Age Drama. Unlike Arellano’s study, Ziomek’s book has a narrower scope and he focuses mainly on the comedia, although he does write about religious 2 drama in his introductory chapter, including the genre of autos sacramentales. Nun playwrights, however, do not make an appearance in his work. Notwithstanding, this is not the only omission of female authors in Ziomek’s history, since Ana Caro is conspicuously absent, and he refers to María de Zayas only in conjunction with the playwright Juan de la Hoz y Mota, who wrote a comedia based on one of her novelas ejemplares. Ziomek does not reference Zayas’s comedia, La traición en la amistad. Lázaro Ladero Sánchez’s ambitious work, titled El siglo de oro español y sus contemporáneos, does not limit itself to early modern literature from Spain, but rather includes texts and authors from other European countries, as well, such as Portugal, Holland, Italy, and France, to name just a few. It even discusses authors and works from the Americas and the Far East. Although it does contain a section on religious literature in Spain, it limits itself to the inclusion of Teresa de Jesús and Juan de la Cruz. With regard to secular women playwrights, Ladero Sánchez includes María de Zayas, but not Ana Caro. To be perfectly fair, the scope of these histories is very broad, and by nature must make certain exclusions. I do find, however, that the inclusion or exclusion of female playwrights, specifically Ana Caro and María de Zayas, is a telling litmus test that reveals the author’s sensibilities. If critics such as Arellano, Ziomek, and Ladero Sánchez do not mention Caro and Zayas in their studies, it is highly unlikely that they would include ‘lesser’ women writers, such as Sor Violante do Ceo or Sor Francisca de Santa Teresa. Although early modern convent theater was a widespread phenomenon, it traditionally has not enjoyed a place in literary history, unlike the highly popular and lucrative commercial theater of the Siglo de Oro. 3 On the other hand, other similar studies make more of a concerted effort to include female playwrights, including those who wrote convent theater. One such study is the voluminous and ambitious Historia del teatro español, edited by Fernando Doménech Rico, which contains a section titled “El teatro conventual” (1254). This section, included in the chapter “El teatro escrito por mujeres” (1243), makes mention of Sor María de San Alberto, Sor Cecilia del Nacimiento, Sor Marcela de San Félix, and Sor Francisca de Santa Teresa.

Johnson, Ph.D. Committee Member ____________________________ Dr. Anthony B. Smith, Ph.D. Committee Member _____________________________ Dr. Roberto S. Goizueta, Ph.D. Committee Member ii ABSTRACT HONOR AND CARITAS: BARTOLOMÉ DE LAS CASAS, SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE, AND THE CONQUEST OF THE AMERICAS Name: Costello, Damian Matthew University of Dayton Advisor: Dr. William L. Portier This dissertation - a postcolonial re-examination of Bartolomé de las Casas, the 16th century Spanish priest often called “The Protector of the Indians” - is a conversation between three primary components: a biography of Las Casas, an interdisciplinary history of the conquest of the Americas and early Latin America, and an analysis of the Spanish debate over the morality of Spanish colonialism. The work adds two new theses to the scholarship of Las Casas: a reassessment of the process of Spanish expansion and the nature of Las Casas’s opposition to it. The first thesis challenges the dominant paradigm of 16th century Spanish colonialism, which tends to explain conquest as the result of perceived religious and racial difference; that is, Spanish conquistadors turned to military force as a means of imposing Spanish civilization and Christianity on heathen Indians.

  • «Fuenteovejuna» De Lope De Vega Y El Maquiavelismo
    CRITICÓN, 45, 1989, pp. 131-153. FUENTEOVEJUNA DE LOPE DE VEGA Y EL MAQUIAVELISMO por Bernai HERRERA MONTERO (Universidad de Harvard) NOTA ACLARATORIA El presente trabajo se propone una meta muy concreta : indagar y explicar las relaciones que pudieran presentarse entre el pensamiento político de Maquiavelo contenido en El Príncipe y el de Lope de Vega en Fuenteovejuna. El circunscribirme a dichas obras, si bien es cierto que implica ciertas limitaciones, también representa una ventaja apreciable : la posibilidad de desarrollar el tema con algún detalle. Por lo demás, no creo equivocarme al asumir que ambas son plenamente representativas de sus autores. La constante referencia y cita de críticos de la comedia lopesca en algunas partes del trabajo no responde al afán de fingir una erudición que no poseo : dada la novedad de la aproximación propuesta, creo necesario hacer ver que ella no deriva de una simple ignorancia de la crítica más al uso. Para mayor facilidad del lector, cito a Lope por la numeración de los versos de su obra, y a Maquiavelo por el número del capítulo que contiene la afirmación, poniendo los números correspondientes inmediatamente después de la cita. La traducción de las citas cuyo original no está en español es de quien esto escribe. En el caso de Maquiavelo he seguido el original italiano, confrontando siempre mi traducción con la inglesa de George Bull. Puede verse la ficha bibliográfica de las ediciones manejadas en la Bibliografía final. 132 B ERNAL HERRERA MONTERO Criticón, 45,1989 Maquiavelo y el maquiavelismo en España Es bien sabido que Maquiavelo es uno de los más importantes tratadistas políticos, y sin duda el más influyente de su época.

He looked a little nervous. These publisher types usually are. Sales numbers, returns, book buyers, temperamental authors, and the price of paper tends to wear on a man.

Still, I had the hat and the coat, not to mention the office for the day. Luckily for me I saw the real owner heading out on an out of town case and drop his keys.

  • Lope De Vega FUENTEOVEJUNA
    Lope de Vega FUENTEOVEJUNA This edition of the play is intended to be a reliable edition but is, under no circumstances, to be considered as a thorough critical edition complete with variant readings, extensive notes, nor any of the valuable expository discussion that is usually found in such. Those who would like to study the play or to comment on it with greater security than can be claimed for this electronic edition should refer to one of the modern critical editions of the work: the edition prepared by Francisco López Estrada and published in Madrid, by Clásicos Castalia in 1979; or the edition and translation prepared by Victor Dixon and published in Warminster by Aris and Phillips in 1989. Either of these editions should be easily found in any reasonable university library. In them you will also find a bibliography of early editions and manuscripts available for the play, cogent discussion of the work as literature, and a suggestive bibliography of articles about this comedia. Fuentovejuna has also been the subject of many studies that have been published since these two editions were prepared. These items may be identified by reference to the valuable ABibliography on the Comedia@ published each fall in the Bulletin of the Comediantes.
