Bibliography; Index.Reviews'Festival Culture in the World of the Spanish Habsburgs is a must. This is a superb exploration of the monarchy's pluralistic language of self-representation through local and transnational cultural events articulated in the visual, historical, religious, musical, print, literary, and ephemeral forms. The result is an exhilarating and compelling book with an original approach to the culture of festivals in the Spanish empire during the Habsburg dynasty.' Carmen Fracchia, Birkbeck, University of London, UK 'This stimulating book presents the triumphant worlds of the Spanish Habsburgs through a myriad of historical perspectives, embracing Iberia, Rome, Milan, Palermo and Spanish America. Painting, sculpture, architecture and music are examined through the lens of festivals and celebrations during the baroque period. Edited by two experts in the field, with contributions by leading scholars, this will be an enormously useful work of reference for scholars and students alike.' Marjorie Trusted, Victoria and Albert Museum, London, UK 'A truly outstanding contribution to the study of court rituals and festivals produced by the international networks of the Spanish Habsburg dynasty in Italy, Iberian Peninsula and colonial America during the 16th and 17th centuries. This volume provides interesting examples of the extraordinary rich culture linked with this global empire offering new approaches to the varied art media used to spread its soft power.' Bernardo J. Garcia Garcia, University Complutense of Madrid & Charles of Antwerp Foundation (Madrid), Spain These twelve essays provide an insightful foundation for more extensive study. The authors' diverse case studies explore a variety of themes and debates over the course of the book and thereby make an important contribution to both festival studies and the cultural dimensions of Habsburg hegemony. -Jeremy Roe, Universidade Nova de Lisbo 'Festival Culture in the World of the Spanish Habsburgs is a must.

Marjorie Trusted, Victoria and Albert Museum, London, UK Author InformationFernando Checa Cremades is a full Professor of History of Art at the University Complutense in Madrid and a former director of the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain. Checa is recipient of the prestigious National Prize in History awarded by the Spanish Ministry of Culture for his ground-breaking study on Philip II of Spain as patron of the arts (Felipe II. Mecenas de las Artes). Fernando has published extensively on the artistic and cultural patronage of the Spanish House of Habsburg, especially during the rule of Emperor Charles V and Philip II of Spain. Checa is an active guest curator having curated major exhibitions on the royal collections of the Habsburgs and their extended family. Checa's most recent monograph explores Titian's production for the European courts (Tiziano y las Cortes del Renacimiento). Dr Laura Fernandez-Gonzalez is a Lecturer in the School of History & Heritage, College of Arts at the University of Lincoln. She has held post-doctoral fellowships at the Institute for Advance Research in the Humanities (University of Edinburgh) and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon (Portugal). Laura's research programme and publication record concern cultural exchange, the relationship between centres and peripheries, and how these tensions are reflected in the artistic and architectural production of the early modern Spanish and Portuguese global empires. Laura graduated with PhD from the University of Edinburgh in 2012, and her thesis was a recipient of a 'Dissertation award: Honourable mention' awarded by the Association of Spanish and Portuguese Historical Studies (ASPHS). She was convenor of the international conference on festivals of the Spanish Habsburgs in Edinburgh that was the origin of the present book.
