- The fifteen essays of this volume engage in distinct ways with a broader dialectic of stasis and movement, even simultaneity and progress, as a defining feature of the cultural production of early modern Spain. Interrogation of the interdependence of tradition and innovation, poetry, power and politics, shifting signifiers, the intersection of topography and deviant temporalities, the movement between the secular and the sacred, tension between centres and peripheries, issues of manuscript circulation and reception, all demonstrate that by opening up Richard Helgerson’s central notion of ‘conspicuous movement’ beyond the field of early sixteenth-century secular poetics, we can approximate a better understanding of poetry’s role in a period of extraordinary historical circumstances and conterminous radical cultural transformation. The individual essays have been organised with a view to providing an intellectually coherent and cohesive analysis of the overarching research questions.
Professor Torres conceived the original idea for the volume and was responsible for the intellectual shape of the project and the selection of contributors (she also prepared the book proposal for Tamesis); she co-edited the 12 essays, co-wrote the Introduction and prepared the scholarly apparatus (50% equal contribution); she also contributed a substantial single-authored chapter.
