La Diana of Montemayor as Social and Religious Teaching
Author: Bruno M. Damiani
Publisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 0813194555
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 138
Book Description
Jorge de Montemayor's great pastoral novel La Diana (1559), one of the fountainheads of Spanish Renaissance literature, has often been regarded as a work written merely to amuse an effete courtly world. Bruno M. Damiani argues here that, far from being simply a "pastoral dream," Diana has profound socio-historical and religious dimensions, and that Montemayor's intentions in it were largely moral and instructive. The timeless, idyllic nature which forms the essence of the pastoral is, in the case of Diana, inextricably bound up with the grace and sophistication of urban Spanish culture. Indeed, this study shows, Montemayor's shepherds and shepherdesses exist not in an imaginary Arcadian land but in the very real Spain and Portugal of their author's own time, and many of the characters are disguises for actual persons of the Spanish court, including perhaps the author himself. Similarly, the philosophical and religious concerns of Renaissance Spain are fully explored in the lives of Montemayor's sorrowing rustics. Symbolically they are sinners who have fallen from grace and must undertake a spiritual pilgrimage, one which ultimately leads them to an understanding of the Christian virtues of faith, hope, and charity. Mustering a wealth of classical, biblical, medieval, and Renaissance sources, the author reveals the underlying fabric of Diana, an inter-twining of allegory, symbolism, and imagery intended to instruct Monte-mayor's readers in the path of virtue. Damiani's analysis of this important work offers us a clearer view of the intellectual life of Renaissance Spain.

The Religions Poetry of Jorge de Montemayor
The Unrecognized Precursors of Montemayor's Diana
Author: Elizabeth Rhodes
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
Jorge de Montemayor was one of the most popular and influential writers of the Spanish Golden Age. Author of the Diana, Spain's first pastoral narration, Montemayor was among the most published authors of his time and had among his followers such important writers as Miguel de Cervantes, Honore d'Urfe, and Sir Philip Sidney. In this radical reevaluation of the Diana, Elizabeth Rhodes proposes to bring Montemayor's writings, and those ideologically similar to them, closer to the modern reader by redefining and exploring the context in which his book was conceived and universally applauded. Rhodes challenges the traditional critical approach to the Diana by removing Montemayor's works from the shadow of the classical and humanistic traditions to reexamine them in the broader context of the spiritual environment in which Montemayor lived and wrote. Renaissance scholars have long ignored Montemayor's devotional writings when analyzing the Diana, but Rhodes reveals how the author's religious vision illuminates his pastoral narration and provides the missing link between his works and the acclaim they earned from his contemporaries. She examines the Diana in its full historical and cultural contexts and acknowledges Montemayor's religious works as the unrecognized precursors of his Diana. This reinterpretation harmonizes the Diana with its author's other writings and accounts for issues left unresolved by previous approaches to the text. It also explains the book's extraordinary success in its own day and the multitude of imitations it inspired, as well as modern readers' difficulties in appreciating it. The Unrecognized Precursors of Montemayor's Diana will be of interest to specialists inGolden Age Spanish literature, as well as to classical and Renaissance scholars dedicated to the study of the pastoral, early modern forms of narrative, and the relationship between religious writing and fiction.
