Reviews

Spanish Society combines up to date scholarship with accessible readibility for students. Teo Ruiz's use of vignettes makes of this book a handy resource while covering themes familiar to historians of Spain' s Golden Age. The topical rather than chronological lay out of Spanish Society enables instructors to craft their courses in multiple ways. Still, the intellectual depth of Spanish Society provides for stimulating classroom dialogue. As such, Ruiz's textbook has no parallel. Celine Dauverd, University of Colorado Boulder, USA
