Un analisis de la obra poetica de Lope de Vega revela como amoldo su propio personaje "e;Lope"e; para adecuarse, generalmente con exito, a los cambios de su entorno.La obra poetica de Lope de Vega se diferencia del resto de la produccion del Siglo de Oro por una insistente singularidad: escenas y figuras de la vida del autor aparecen frecuentemente en sus poemas. La critica y el publico general ha respondido a esta caracteristica desde una perspectiva post-romantica, considerando que Lope escribio con sinceridad e inspiracion biografica, impulsado por su apasionada vida personal. En este libro se analiza lo que los post-romanticos consideran "e;sinceridad"e; como un recurso literario. Lope consigue una apariencia de sinceridad pero, de hecho, reaccionaba a los cambios de su entorno social y literario creando nuevas actitudes "e;biograficas"e;. Ensu poesia amorosa y epica, su conocida vida amorosa le proporciona fama y reconocimiento. En el Isidro, se presenta como el genio defensor de lo castellano y espanol por antonomasia. En las Rimas sacras adopta la retorica religiosa de la epoca para contrarrestar el exito de Gongora en los circulos cortesanos. Finalmente, en las Rimas de Tome de Burguillos repasa ironicamente su carrera poetica desde la perspectiva de uno. Antonio Sanchez Jimenez es profesor de espanol en Miami University, Ohio.

El papel de las ropas en la construccion de la identidad en neuve autobiografias ficticias e historicas del Siglo de Oro.Este libro examina el significativo papel de las ropas y de los adornos corporales en la construccion de la identidad en nueve autobiografias ficticias e historicas del Siglo de Oro: Lazarillo de Tormes, Guzman de Alfarache, Guiton Onofre, El Buscon, La picara Justina , Vida del soldado espanol Miguel de Castro , Discurso de mi vida de Alonso Contreras, Vida i sucesos de la Monja Alferez de Catalina de Erauso y Comentarios del desenganado de Duque de Estrada. En estas obras las vestiduras proyectan una compleja vision externa de la personalidad que sustituye la falta de introspeccion y de descripcion del cuerpo caracteristicas de estas narraciones. Este estudio considera la representacion verbal de la ropa como un sitio donde confluyen dialecticamente el sujeto escindido en busca de unidad ficticia y de distincion personal y el individuo enfrentado a las estructuras y discursos que lo configuran. El analisis tiene en cuenta el significado filologico, economico, politico, moral y artistico del vestido en el periodo pero sigue diferentes metodologias,las teorias de Bakhtin, Mulvey, Freud, Lacan y Kristeva, para explicar la subjetividad particular de cada Vida.

Considering its territorial and social influence and the superlative nature of its indigenous collections - which since 1735 has included one of the most significant late seventeenth century London art collections - Weston Park is not as well known as one might expect. The House, with its thousand acre landscape park and contents, was gifted to the nation in 1986 by Richard, 7th Earl of Bradford and was vested by the NHMF in the Weston Park Foundation, an independent charitable trust. Until then, the house had always passed by descent, often through the female line, and it had stood at the centre of an estate with a wide geographical spread, with tentacles linking this quintessential English country house not only with the adjacent counties of Shropshire and Staffordshire but with more distant estates which included the urban centres of Walsall, Bolton and Wigan. Weston Park's owners and staff had a pivotal role in the development of these places, whilst the family's involvement in politics, the legal profession, and the military brought them to the forefront of national affairs on frequent occasions. Their seat at Weston Park provided not only a fitting home, visited by royalty and politicians, but also became a repository of important patronage and of collections. These included not only important Regency and pre-Revolutionary French decorative arts but, in 1735, the highly significant late seventeenth and early eighteenth century collection of paintings that had been assembled by Francis Newport, 1st Earl of Bradford of the first creation and his younger son, Thomas, Baron Torrington. Meticulously researched and beautifully illustrated, this book seeks to tell the story of the House, its setting, extraordinary collections, and the influence that it has had on wider communities through the history of those who have owned and cared for it.

This first complete history of Dr Williams's Trust and Library, deriving from the will of the nonconformist minister Daniel Williams (c.1643-1716) reveals rare examples of private philanthropy and dissenting enterprise.The library contains the fullest collection of material relating to English Protestant Dissent. Opening in the City of London in 1730, it moved to Bloomsbury in the 1860s. Williams and his first trustees had a vision for Protestant Dissent which included maintaining connections with Protestants overseas. The charities espoused by the trust extended that vision by funding an Irish preacher, founding schools in Wales, sending missionaries to native Americans, and giving support to Harvard College. By the mid-eighteenth century, the trustees had embraced unitarian beliefs and had established several charities and enlarged the unique collection of books, manuscripts and portraits known as Dr Williams's Library. The manuscript and rare book collection offers material from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries, with strengths in the early modern period, including the papers of Richard Baxter, Roger Morrice, and Owen Stockton. The eighteenth-century archive includes the correspondence of the scientist and theologian Joseph Priestley. The library also holds several collections of importance for women's history and English literature. The story of the trust and library reveals a rare example of private philanthropy over more than three centuries, and a case study in dissenting enterprise. Alan Argent illuminates key themes in the history of nonconformity; the changing status of non-established religions; the voluntary principle; philanthropy; and a lively concern for society as a whole.
