Queen Isabel I of Castile [PDF ebook] 
Power, Patronage, Persona

Wsparcie

The Queen who shaped the music, literature, architecture, and painting of late medieval Spain.
This multidisciplinary volume was inspired by the quincentenary of the death of Queen Isabel I of Castile, early modern Europe’s first powerful queen regnant. Comprising work by distinguished art historians, musicologists, historians, and literary scholars from England, Spain, and the United States, it begins with a theoretical examination of medieval queenship itself that argues – against the grain of the volume – for its inseparability from kingship. Several essays examine the complex ways in which the Queen and her advisers shaped the music, literature, architecture, and painting of fifteenth-century Spain and how these in turn shaped the sovereign’s power and persona. Others analyze influences on Isabel’s reign from Aragón, Portugal, and northern Europe. A third group deals with issues of periodization, arguing from a variety of perspectives for the modernity of Isabelline culture. The evolving construction of Isabel’s image from the mid-fifteenth to the late-twentieth century is also studied.
BARBARA WEISSBERGER is Associate Professor Emerita of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Minnesota.
