These mechanisms served to delineate a national tradition that addressed the needs of a changing society and gave a \"Spanish\" physiognomy to the Italian experience, which ultimately led to the Golden Age.\u003cbr\u003e By examining such important texts as the sentimental fictions of Diego de San Pedro and Juan de Flores, the Spanish translation of \u003ci\u003eOrlando Furioso\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDon Quixote\u003c\/i\u003e, and the \u003ci\u003ePolifemo\u003c\/i\u003e, Binotti first describes the conditions imposed on book production by both the expectationsof an elite audience and the limitations of the printing market while outlining the process of the creation of an expressive poetic language and the quest for literary models. She then looks at Ambrosio de Morales' chronicles andBernardo de Aldrete's \u003ci\u003eDel Origen\u003c\/i\u003e, showing how a cultural discourse founded on foreign scholarship paved the way for the establishment of innovative-and autochtonous-methods of historical and scientific analysis in the early seventeenth-century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e LUCIA BINOTTI is an associate professor in the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.","brand":"Lucia Binotti","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48280464818427,"sku":"9781855662452","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9781855662452.jpg?v=1772487809","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/cultural-capital-language-and-national-identity-in-imperial-spain-9781855662452","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
