In this rich and informative study, Javier Lorenzo investigates the symbolic use of space in Lope's drama and its function as an ideological tool to promote an imagined Spanish national past. In specific plays, this book argues, historical landscapes and settings were used to foretell and legitimize the imperial present in Hapsburg Spain, allowing audiences to visualize and plot, as on a map, the country's expansionist trajectory throughout the centuries. By focusing on connections among space, drama, and empire, this book makes an important contribution to the study of literature and imperialism in early modern Spain and equally to our understanding of the role and political significance of spatiality in \u003ci\u003eSiglo de Oro \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003ecomedia\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Javier Lorenzo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 168448491X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781684484911\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bucknell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2024","brand":"Javier Lorenzo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44213426716927,"sku":"9781684484911","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9b48db3e-107d-4059-8ecc-db67c6bca27d.jpg?v=1692113823","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/space-drama-and-empire-javier-lorenzo-9781684484911","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
