Description: "Antonio Perez-Romero considers a variety of writings from fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Spain that expose a thriving undergrowth of discontent and social ferment beneath the layers of hierarchy and oppressive tradition. Each document he examines describes a situation that cries out for change and the subversive responses of men and women who are strong, passionate, and rebellious."

"The seven texts in this cross-section of fiction and nonfiction reveal a nation at the brink of modernity, embracing revolutionary ideas and reeling in their explosive impact. The opening chapters establish the theoretical framework for Perez-Romero's analysis, describing the intellectual and social environments of medieval Spain and tracing the developments in Spanish historical and literary scholarship that point to the existence of a new path of investigation."--Jacket.
