The Conde Claros ballads, usually classified as 'Carolingian' in the most vague sense of that category, are ancient in origin and, as a consequence, come now in all shapes and sizes, combined 'contaminated' with many other tales, and varying all over the Hispanic world, not only in the Sephardic communities. The relations between this ballad and the Conde Claros tradition form the main subject matter of the first chapter that is, Chapter Another tale that has come to be combined with that of Conde Claros is that of Bernardo del Carpio, in particular his birth, which forms a large part of the second chapter Chapter 11 ; and it is in this chapter that we meet the long ballad story which most Hispanists will know of as the Conde Claros tale par excellence, Media noche era por filo, much anthologized and taught to students, which recounts the adventures of Conde Claros and the Princess.

The centrepiece of that ballad tradition came to be the lines which extol the virtues of love, a set-piece episode that existed on its own and was often set to music separately. The geographical ramifications of the modern oral variations, not only in the Sephardic communities but also elsewhere including many in Portugal, the Canaries, America , have consequences for our assessment of how and when and where they came to develop, and Professor Armistead traces those with precision and detail.

The old printed versions come to seem almost irrelevant to this task when compared with the modern attested versions. Alternative versions quoted, mentioned or alluded to by Golden-Age dramatists appear more helpful, in the event. Professor Armistead has devoted great energy in the past to discussing the relationships between Hispanic ballads and epics, but there is no epic dimension in this case; the ballads can therefore be the constant focus of attention, and the generally sympathetic attitude to the lovers is the main constant in their theme.

Professor Armistead himself tries not to judge the lovers: Nor does he necessarily enjoy every variant; several comments are similar to the view Cervantes y Lope de Vega: Historia de una enemistad y otros estudios cervantinos review. In this collection of six of his recent studies Felipe Pedraza explores the literary backdrop to the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, in which two of the major figures of Spanish letters wrote and published their most important works.

Only the title study has not been previously published but the re-edition of the rest of these articles is justified by their quality, by the coherence of the whole and because some of the original studies are not easy to access outside Spain. They are given a short introduction by the author and have been, in most cases, lightly reworked. A consolidated bibliography rounds off the volume. The initial eponymous study points first to the similarities in the backgrounds of Cervantes and Lope de Vega, for example in their lack of a university education, and traces the history of their mutual respect through eulogistic sonnets and the like up until at least The author's tracing of further references each writer made to the other goes over old ground, but it does so with a fair-mindedness and common sense which is characteristic of the volume and, indeed, of Pedraza's scholarship.

Both writers, whatever posterity has made of them, no doubt behaved at times with pettiness and at others with generosity towards each other. Equally, each learned from his rival and their mutual influence can be traced, at least in part.

The second study, 'Cervantes y Lope: The author feels that it is an over-simplification to see, as one scholarly tradition has it, Cervantes' masterpiece as emerging from a desire to parody Lope's romanticized relationship with Elena Osorio. The remaining studies, though apparently more narrowly focused on Cervantes' works, never lose sight of Lope as a background presence to them, basking in popular success and its concomitant financial rewards. Pedraza is wittily but passionately impatient with scholars who misunderstand the nature of Cervantes' realism in Don Quijote by reading it as an attempt to reproduce truth, rather than as an element of the author's literary creativity.

This article is a must for those who teach and study Cervantes' masterpiece. The final two studies relate to Cervantes the playwright although not the entremesista and they constitute a serious challenge to scholars, most obviously represented by Canavaggio, who have tended to view the novelist as a dramatist who was ahead of his time.

The second, 'Cervantes frente al teatro de su tiempo', covers some of the same ground but traces more Given the copious amount of work in the field of Latin American studies that has been, and still is being, dedicated to examining issues of hybridity and mestizaje, the title of this book suggests a fairly modest contribution to the topic and I fully expected to read the usual, interesting if not life-changing, ajiaco, or perhaps even mole, of a representative selection of primary materials seasoned with an apposite amount of literary theory.

It was thus a welcome discovery to find myself confronted with the work of a critic who is the Heston Blumenthal of studies of hybridity. This is a book that most thoroughly and convincingly examines and challenges the usual arguments concerning the topic as they have appeared in Latin American ist discourse from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day.

They thus remain firmly embedded in the naturalizing structures of the 'coloniality of power' Quijano and hybridity is ever an 'ambivalent' discourse, proposing one thing while simultaneously confirming its obverse. In order to achieve these objectives, the book is divided into three main sections, preceded by a brief introduction which sketches out the book's structure and approach.

Given the rise to prominence of the term 'hybridity' in the s, Section 1 is dedicated to contemporary Latin American ist discourses on the subject — Lund coins the term 'hybridology' to pin down the upsurge in studies of this nature. The section is divided into three chapters.

La Voz de tu Alma (Spanish Edition)

The first provides a theoretical framework for the section and the study as a whole, exploring, through Derrida on genres and Agamben on examples and exceptions , among others, the exact nature of the relationship between hybridity and race, as well as between Latin American and Western discourse. While the first chapter of the section is one of the most challenging in the book for how we theoretically 'locate' Latin American studies, the third chapter is extremely cogent in its analysis of the relationship of Latin American and postcolonial studies, as well as in its examination of the different types of hybridity conservative or contestatory that are possible, and frequently entwined, such that hybridity is almost always 'radically ambivalent', on the verge of rhetorical collapse.

Sections 2 and 3 go back in time to examine two of the most famous examples of discourses of hybridity in Latin American cultural history: Mexican discourses of mestizaje and Brazilian discourses of racial democracy. While it seeks to expose and denounce the violence meted out by the dominant classes against the Salvadoran people since the Conquest, the work also promotes an image of Salvadoran identity based on a hegemonic masculinity rooted in violent resistance.
