The author of \u003ci\u003eCarajicomedia: Parody and Satire in Early Modern Spain\u003c\/i\u003e believes that it is a sophisticated and complex composition that provides as good a vantage point from which to examine the ideology of the period as does \u003ci\u003eLa Celestina\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e In their poems, the writers of \u003ci\u003eCarajicomedia\u003c\/i\u003e inadvertently reveal thedeep worries of the knights and nobles who opposed the regencies of Ferdinand the Catholic and Francisco Jiménez de Cisneros pending the arrival of Charles V. \u003ci\u003eCarajicomedia\u003c\/i\u003e is therefore a harbinger of the War of the Comuneros, the great popular revolt that convulsed Spain in 1520. \u003cbr\u003e In this book's chapters, the author examines the parodic relationship between the text of Juan de Mena's \u003ci\u003eEl Laberinto de Fortuna\u003c\/i\u003e, the glosses of Hernán Núñez's \u003ci\u003eLas Trezientas\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eCarajicomedia\u003c\/i\u003e. He then turns to its actual writers and their settings, and shows how their satirical attitudes towards males, females, and conversos reveals the failure of the societal mechanisms in place to control desire and miscegenation. \u003ci\u003eCarajicomedia: Parody and Satire in Early Modern Spain\u003c\/i\u003e concludes with a paleographic edition of the text and appendices that contain a modern Spanish version and its Englishtranslation, as well as examine \u003ci\u003eCarajicomedia\u003c\/i\u003e's language. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Frank A.
