Reviews

""The collection is an important contribution to the field, providing both a valuable aid to scholars seeking an up-to-date guide to debates in scholarship on early modern Spain and cutting-edge new research."" Maria Czepie in Studia Aurea, Vol. 17 (2023) “The volume’s introduction and thirty-six chapters approach this world from a panoply of different perspectives, gathered into eight thematic sections or parts, each of which is grouped around three keywords. […] The volume is thus a substantial one, significant in its range, and with some variation in methodology: many authors provide focused reviews of scholarly literature alongside specific case studies, while others build a case from first principles; both approaches implicitly cater to the companion’s twofold audience and purpose. […] what is valuable here is the snapshot of a burgeoning discipline reconsidering and moving beyond that traditional canon, mapping its own borders as its many interconnected points of focus continue to expand.” Richard Rabone in Bulletin of the Comediantes, 75(1) “Una de las virtudes más destacadas del Routledge Hispanic Studies Companion to Early Modern Spanish Literature and Culture es, precisamente, proponer una aproximación diferente a la cultura, la literatura y el arte en la España de la temprana modernidad, llamando a revisión tanto los conceptos críticos como los planteamientos teóricos más recurrentes en el estudio de esta época. […] Los treinta y seis capítulos que conforman este monumental compendio representan una importante contribución a los estudios hispánicos no sólo por la relevancia en sí de los temas tratados sino, fundamentalmente, porque propone una revisión de los conceptos, paradigmas y teorías que han ocupado el campo crítico de la temprana modernidad hispánica en los últimos años. No cabe duda que este magnífico Companion viene a dar nuevos bríos a las añejas controversias académicas, al tiempo que fertiliza el terreno para proponer nuevas aproximaciones.” Ulises Bravo López, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, in Bulletin Hispanique, 127(1)
