Imperial Lyric - New Poetry and New Subjects in Early Modern Spain

About the author

Leah Middlebrook is Associate Professor of Comparative Literature and Associate Professor of Romance Languages at the University of Oregon.

Summary

Based on readings of representative poems by eight Peninsular writers, this book demonstrates that the lyric was a crucial site for the negotiation of masculine identity as Spain's noblemen were alternately cajoled and coerced into abandoning their identifications with images of the medieval hero and assuming instead the posture of subjects.
