An Affair to Remember by Christopher Andersen
Este libro analiza un corpus de textos picos y propagand sticos que se escriben en las fronteras del imperio espa ol en el siglo XVI. Examina la representaci n del conflicto religioso en Inglaterra, Alemania y Holanda durante losreinados de Carlos V y Felipe I, y se centra en tres episodios, difundidos capilarmente en la cultura visual y emocional europea y en torno a los cuales cristaliza la narraci n heroica: los martirios de cartujos y jesuitas en Inglaterra; la guerra de Esmalcalda; y el asedio de Amberes. El volumen considera las estrechas relaciones entre pica e historia; entre pica y cultura visual; y entre la poes a pica hisp nica y la historia y la cartograf aiosa de Europa en unos a os cr ticos en los que se construye la Iglesia Anglicana y se afianza el luteranismo en Alemania. This book analyses a corpus of epic and propagandistic texts written at the margins of the Spanish empire in the sixteenth century. It examines the representation of religious conflict in England, Germany and Holland during the reigns of Charles V and Philip I, centring on three episodes widely disseminated in European visual and emotional culture and around which certain foundational Spanish heroic narratives emerged: the martyrdom of the Carthusians and Jesuits in England; the Schmalkaldic War; and the siege of Antwerp. The volume considers the close relationships between epic and history; between epic and visual culture; and between Hispanic epic poetry and the history and religious cartography of Europe during the critical years in which the Anglican Church was evolvingand Lutheranism gaining strength in Germany.
