Autobiographical Writing By Early Modern Hispanic Women

Zusatztext 'Autobiographical Writing by Early Modern Hispanic Women represents an excellent synthesis of theoretical work on autobiography as genre! and brings together previous studies on female life-writing Spain and the New World with new insights.' Alison P. Weber! University of Virginia! USA Informationen zum Autor Elizabeth Teresa Howe is Professor of Spanish at Tufts University, USA. Her other books include Education and Women in the Early Modern Hispanic World (2008) and The Visionary Life of Madre Ana de San Agustín (2004). Klappentext Women's life writing in general has too often been ignored, dismissed, or relegated to a separate category in those few studies of the genre that include it. The present work addresses these issues and offers a countervailing argument that focuses on the contributions of women writers to the study of autobiography in Spanish during the early modern period, both in Spain and in Mexico.
