Description:
This study of how early modern Spanish literature constitutes a cultural 'Golden Age' addresses the evolving uses of a literary canon that is now regarded as national cultural patrimony. It approaches these uses of the Spanish Golden Age as a diachronic problem whose analysis can address some of the most persistent questions in the field of Hispanism.
Brief description: Robert Bayliss is a Professor in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Kansas.
