The Queen who shaped the music, literature, architecture, and painting of late medieval Spain.

This multidisciplinary volume was inspired by the quincentenary of the death of Queen Isabel I of Castile, early modern Europe's first powerful queen regnant. Comprising work by distinguished art historians, musicologists, historians, and literary scholars from England, Spain, and the United States, it begins with a theoretical examination of medieval queenship itself that argues - against the grain of the volume - for its inseparability from kingship. Several essays examine the complex ways in which the Queen and her advisers shaped the music, literature, architecture, and painting of fifteenth-century Spain and how these in turn shaped the sovereign's power and persona. Others analyze influences on Isabel's reign from Aragón, Portugal, and northern Europe. A third group deals with issues of periodization, arguing from a variety of perspectives for the modernity of Isabelline culture. The evolving construction of Isabel's image from the mid-fifteenth to the late-twentieth century is also studied.

BARBARA WEISSBERGER is Associate Professor Emerita of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Minnesota.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Se trata de una obra sugerente, que contribuye al debate sobre algunos aspectos del reinado y la historia de Isabel I, a la vez que abre perspectivas, y aporta nuevas contribuciones que vienen a enriquecer el acercamiento a tan complejo periodo y personaje. Por otra parte, pone de manifiesto la necesidad de potenciar el acercamiento y la discusión entre los historiadores de ambos lados del Atlántico, y de favorecer el conocimiento, allí y aquí, de lo que se hace en cada una sus orillas. Isabel del Val Valdivieso, ― MÉLANGES DE LA CASA DE VELÁZQUEZ

A significant contribution to the field of Isabeline and biographical studies that brings together a very useful and much needed multidisciplinary approach. [...] This volume is certainly relevant for a wide range of audiences and would be useful to a scholar interested in pre-modern and modern literary studies, art history, history, or music, or as required reading in a university course. ― BIOGRAPHY
