This article tries to restore the central figure of doña Catalina de la Cerda, lady-inwaiting
of the queen during the first quarter or the 17th Century, consistently

enjoyed an unparallel celebrity at court, due to her beauty and personality, and
became a…[Read more]

In this article, we will prove that this letter was not addressed to the soon to-be Felipe IV, as Lopian epistolary editors unanimously accept, but to Francisco de Borja y Aragón, Prince of…[Read more]

honor cases of the two female protagonists, but the…[Read more]

humanists inherited from Antiquity, reworking at their convenience theories about natural wit, the
value of experience, or humoral constitution, to propound an image of the ideal author favoring
their own literary careers. This article examines the…[Read more]

creation and artistic representation, pieces of art that in turn constitute better way to understand
the aforementioned changes. This is true for some of Luis de Góngora’s poems, which are
