From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Overall very good and clean. - Contents: 1.

Vacuous Print. - In Transcending Textuality, Ariadna Garcia-Bryce provides a fresh look at post-Trent political culture and Francisco de Quevedos place within it by examining his works in relation to two potentially rival means of transmitting authority: spectacle and print. Quevedos highly theatrical conceptions of power are identified with court ceremony, devotional ritual, monarchical and spiritual imagery, and religious and classical oratory. At the same time, his investment in physical and emotional display is shown to be fraught with concern about the decline of body-centered modes of propagating authority in the increasingly impersonalized world of print. Transcending Textuality shows that Quevedos poetics are, in great measure, defined by the attempt to retain in writing the qualities of live physical display. - Ariadna Garcia-Bryce is Professor of Spanish and Humanities at Reed College.
