Book Synopsis Disabled Bodies in Early Modern Spanish Literature by : Encarnación Juárez-Almendros
Book excerpt: This study examines the concepts and role of women in selected Spanish discourses and literary texts from the late fifteenth to seventeenth centuries from the perspective of feminist disability theories, concluding that paradoxically, femininity, bodily afflictions, and mental instability characterized the new literary heroes at the very time Spain was at the apex of its imperial power.
