The subjects addressed include historical and cultural or literary topics historical and cultural or literary topics, among them the image of the 'Golden Age' projected by the royal propagandists (including both Peninsular authors and Italian Humanists); the various unsuccessful Spanish attemps down to the present to have Queen Isabel canonized by the Vatican; popular unrest, protest, and the importance of social memory as historical evidence; the treatment of "conversos" who remained in Spain, and the annexation of Navarre; the royal chronicler Diego de Valera; the treatment of love in Arthurian literature from late medieval Spain and its relation to the new moral climate; prose and poetry by Diego de San Pedro and Pedro Marcuello, and religious music, in the court. The illustration include some previously unpublished manuscript material. This important collection of original scholarship on a wide range of significant aspects of the politics, history, and culture of a reign central to the formation of the state of Spain not only contains fresh insights and interpretations by specialists in the period, a common feature in various of which is the tracing of the relations between cultural production and the political and ideological climate of the reign, but also offers a variety of reflections on scholarly methods and the nature and interpretation of historical and literary evidence.
