Anotace knihy

This work features thirteen essays which engage with one of the most obsessive aspects of the Baroque aesthetic, a dedicated commitment in distinct artistic contexts to the treatment of mythological material. Within the various 'Baroques' uncovered, there is a single unity of purpose. Meaning is always negotiable, but the process of interpretation is dependent upon intertextual forms of understanding, and presupposes the active participation of the receiver. The volume explores how the paradigmatic mythical symbols of a Renaissance epistemological world view can be considered a barometer of rupture and a gauge of the contradictory impulses of the time. Essays explore the differing functions of mythology in poetry ("Quevedo", "Espinosa", "Gongora"), prose ("Cervantes"), drama ("Lope de Vega", "Sor Juana", "Calderon"), art ("Velazquez"), and music ("Latin American opera"). Collectively they trace the dialectic of continuity and rupture that underpins the appropriation of classical mythology in the period; demonstrating that the mythological legacy was not as uniform, as allegorically dominated, nor as depleted of potential as we are sometimes led to believe. Isabel Torres is Head of Spanish and Portuguese Studies at Queen's University, Belfast. Contributors include: Jean Andrews , Stephen Boyd, D. W. Cruickshank, Trevor. J. Dadson, B.W. Ife, Anthony Lappin, Oliver Noble Wood, Jeremy Robbins, Bruce Swansey, Barry Taylor, Isabel Torres, and D. Gareth Walters.
