Taken together these two works reveal clearly the trust in a vision of a well-ordered cosmos that unified Garcilaso’s world, and the extent to which the Baroque aesthetic reflects a cosmic vision founded on ideas of deceit and deception. Two Italians, Castiglione and Galileo, play important roles in this transition and this study seeks also to illuminate their influence on the course of Spanish poetry in the Siglo de Oro. Until the last two decades of the twentieth century many Garcilaso interpreters read his works, especially the eclogues, as poemes a clef, autobiography disguised in pastoral dress. Most recently this problem, which is also one of “sincerity,” has been discussed clearly and thoroughly by Daniel Heiple, who locates the poetic yo in a Petrarchan rhetoric of emotion rather than in the person of the poet (3-27). In spite of dedicating his attention primarily to Garcilaso’s sonnets, Heiple observes of the eclogues, “Garcilaso’s late poems show a self-awareness of style and a conscious distancing of the authorial voice . . . the poet consciously removes the poetic voice from the person who suffers to that of a disinterested narrator” (23).","PeriodicalId":29842,"journal":{"name":"Caliope-Journal of the Society for Renaissance and Baroque Hispanic Poetry","volume":"13 1","pages":"55 - 67"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2017-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81862885","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Esta interpretación reflexiona en torno al modo particular en que el poeta neogranadino construye, a partir de un discurso celebratorio de la ciudad de Cartagena de Indias, el marco de representación epistemológica que sustenta su autoridad intelectual como letrado criollo. El ensayo propone que la construcción del espacio de enunciación poético (y su tácita defensa del grupo letrado criollo) no se crea en tanto radical oposición a la autoridad peninsular, ni a partir de una identificación con los grupos subalternos del territorio virreinal, sino que su autoridad letrada surge a partir de la relación entre los significantes conocimiento y reconocimiento que operan como base para construir su espacio enunciativo criollo.","PeriodicalId":29842,"journal":{"name":"Caliope-Journal of the Society for Renaissance and Baroque Hispanic Poetry","volume":"2 1","pages":"139 - 160"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2017-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75490274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But the importance of the sonnet for Lope, witnessed by its publication on three separate occasions, invites a re-reading of the sonnet and its commentary as more than mere posturing against the vogue of gongorism. A closer analysis of the content of Lope’s commentary points to a personal, pyscho-erotic stake veiled in the language of Neoplatonism and the underlying scholastistic conceptions of amor and eros, relying not only on the Heptaplus of Pico della Mirandola but more significantly on Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite and Ficino’s translations of Plato.","PeriodicalId":29842,"journal":{"name":"Caliope-Journal of the Society for Renaissance and Baroque Hispanic Poetry","volume":"26 1","pages":"32 - 7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2017-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84001702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lo interesante con respecto a los sesenta y dos sonetos es que doce de ellos rompen la secuencia numerica y aparecen sueltos a partir del soneto L hasta el C: LI, LIV, LXXII, LXXIII, LXXXV, LXXXVI, LXXXVII, LXXXIX, XC, XCI, XCIV, XCIX.2 La critica lopesca ha desatendido esta agrupacion desordenada de sonetos debido a la mayor atencion prestada a sus sonetos iniciales (Novo 1998; Grieve 1992) y la tendencia por presentar una estructura de conjunto de las RS (Garcia 1994; Novo 1990). A este olvido se le suma el interes por rastrear la presencia de los ejercicios espirituales de San Ignacio de Loyola (Sanchez 2004), el influjo literario de Boccacio (McGrady 1992), la influencia pictorica de Rubens (Vosters 1981) junto con planteamientos sobre la transformacion de la tradicion de la palinodia (Garrison 1996) y un paralelismo con el poeta John Donne (Kaplis 1995).

Este monográfico es el primero que intenta conceptualizar de manera sistemática la domesticidad masculina en el ámbito de las literaturas hispánicas de la temprana modernidad, alejándose con ello de una tradición que se ha enfocado en la mujer, y que incluye aproximaciones tan diversas como La mujer, la casa y la moda (en la España del rey poeta) de José Deleito y Piñuela (Espasa-Calpe, 1946), la primera parte de El ángel del hogar: Galdós and the Ideology of Domesticity in Spain de Bridget Aldaraca (U of North Carolina P, 1991) y Perfect Wives, Other Women: Adultery and Inquisition in Early Modern Spain de Georgina Dopico Black (Duke UP, 2001). La virtud principal del volumen es su convicción de que la domesticidad no es una subdisciplina esclava de la historia de la vida privada y que, consecuentemente, merece un estudio independiente que rescate sus múltiples dimensiones discursivas e ideológicas. Por eso, el libro busca interpretar la domesticidad como una noción tanto material como discursiva, tanto individual como colectiva, tanto identitaria como económica. La variedad genérica que incorpora es igualmente elogiable porque permite palpar la distancia entre la idealización del ámbito interior ejercida por la ideología estamental, manifiesta especialmente en los manuales, y las diversas apropiaciones culturales de ese ideal en otras expresiones textuales de la España del Renacimiento.","PeriodicalId":29842,"journal":{"name":"Caliope-Journal of the Society for Renaissance and Baroque Hispanic Poetry","volume":"11 1","pages":"242 - 246"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2017-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74413205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
