Book Description
En 'La gastronomía en tiempos de Cervantes', Julio Valles, ingeniero, investigador sobre cocina histórica y dos veces Premio Nacional de Gastronomía, aborda cómo eran la alimentación y las costumbres culinarias en la época de Cervantes, concediendo, asimismo, un espacio importante al vino, la bebida por antonomasia del Siglo de Oro. El autor toma como punto de partida la obra literaria de Cervantes y la de otros literatos coetáneos, desgranando documentos históricos, fragmentos literarios, recetas de cocineros famosos y facilitando un extenso glosario de casi 1.300 términos de productos, platos, utensilios, pesos y medidas, entre otras cosas.

Book Description
During the year between July 1588, when the Spanish Armada set sail from Spain and July 1589, when the survivors of the English counterpart of this fleet, the little-known English Armada, reached port in England, two of history's worst naval catastrophes took place. A great deal of attention has been dedicated to the former and precious little to the latter. This book presents a full-scale account of an event which has been neglected for more than four centuries. It reconstructs the military operations day by day for the first time, taking apart the established notion that, with the defeat of the Spanish Armada, England achieved maritime supremacy and the decay of Spain began. This book clearly and in a rigorously documented fashion shows how the defeat of the English Armada counterbalanced that of the Spanish, frustrating England's intention of seizing Philip II's American empire and changing the tide of the war.

Book Description
The past two decades have witnessed an unprecedented interest in women writers of the Spanish Golden Age. Among the many who have been discovered and rediscovered in recent years, none was more prominent in her own time than Maria de Zayas y Sotomayor, and none has received more attention from modern critics. Maria de Zayas: The Dynamics of Discourse is the first collection of essays dedicated solely to the work of this important figure in Spanish letters.

Book Description
Toward the end of the fifteenth century, Spanish Christians near the border of Castile and Muslim-ruled Granada held complex views about religious tolerance. People living in frontier cities bore much of the cost of war against Granada and faced the greatest risk of retaliation, but had to reconcile an ideology of holy war with the genuine admiration many felt for individual members of other religious groups. After a century of near-continuous truces, a series of political transformations in Castile—including those brought about by the civil wars of Enrique IV's reign, the final war with Granada, and Fernando and Isabel's efforts to reestablish royal authority—incited a broad reaction against religious minorities. As Thomas Devaney shows, this active hostility was triggered by public spectacles that emphasized the foreignness of Muslims, Jews, and recent converts to Christianity. Enemies in the Plaza traces the changing attitudes toward religious minorities as manifested in public spectacles ranging from knightly tournaments, to religious processions, to popular festivals. Drawing on contemporary chronicles and municipal records as well as literary and architectural evidence, Devaney explores how public pageantry originally served to dissipate the anxieties fostered by the give-and-take of frontier culture and how this tradition of pageantry ultimately contributed to the rejection of these compromises. Through vivid depictions of frontier personalities, cities, and performances, Enemies in the Plaza provides an account of how public spectacle served to negotiate and articulate the boundaries between communities as well as to help Castilian nobles transform the frontier's religious ambivalence into holy war.
