Description
De Armas, Frederick A., ed. Ekphrasis in the Age of Cervantes. Lewisburg, PA: Bucknell UP, 2005. 241 pp. This new collection of illuminating essays edited by Frederick de Armas is a fitting companion to his earlier edition, Writing for the Eyes in the Spanish Golden Age (2004), which addresses the complex interconnections between the verbal and the visual in early modern Spain. This volume, which grew out of a National Endowment for the Humanities seminar held at the University of Chicago in the summer of 2003--"Recapturing the Renaissance: Cervantes and Italian Art"--focuses on one such interconnection, ekphrasis, in the period roughly between the 1530s to the 1650s in poetry, drama, and prose fiction. The volume highlights how Spain's political and cultural ties with Italy and the Low Countries continually nourished Spanish writers and opened to them new ways of exploring visual writing.
