Isabel Clara Eugenia. Soberanía femenina en las cortes de Madrid y Bruselas (Spanish Edition) - Softcover
The Infanta Isabel Clara Eugenia, eldest daughter of Philip II of Spain, was one of the pioneering, female political players of the seventeenth century. Credited for her significant contribution to the consolidation of Spanish power in the ten southern-most provinces of the Burgundian inheritance after an eighty years rebellion against Habsburg domination, an area corresponding roughly to modern Belgium, her legacy still shapes the political landscape of today. This collection of fourteen essays is the first in-depth study of the Infanta from her childhood at the court in Spain to her death as widowed governess of the Spanish territories in the Low Countries since Countess Hennequin de Villermonts voluminous biography of Isabel from 1912, almost one hundred years ago. This book is based on new research by internationally renowned specialists and some of the most promising young scholars in the field. Coming from differing disciplines such as history, literary history and art history, the authors bring an extra-ordinarily wide-ranging diversity of approaches, methods and perspectives to our understanding of the Infanta as a political and cultural figure. She not only comes alive as a historical person on the broader diplomatic stage of early modern European politics, but also in the specific visual, devotional and ritual practises which underpinned female sovereignty. As the first publication of its kind, this book will prove essential reading for anyone touching upon the subject.

Book Description Encuadernación de tapa dura. Condition: Nuevo. 448 pp. La infanta Isabel Clara Eugenia (1566-1633), primogenita de Felipe II, fue una de las principales figuras politicas femeninas del siglo XVII. Dada su importante contribucion a la consolidacion del poder español en los Paises Bajos españoles tras ochenta años de rebelion contra la dominacion habsburgica, su legado aun marca el panorama politico actual.Esta coleccion de catorce ensayos, publicados en coedicion con la editorial britanica Paul Holberton publishing y bajo la direccion de la profesora Cordula van Wyhe, ofrece investigaciones novedosas de renombrados especialistas internacionales, y constituye el primer estudio en profundidad sobre la infanta desde su niñez en la corte española hasta su muerte como gobernadora viuda tras la voluminosa biografia publicada por la condesa Hennequin de Villermont en 1912.Los autores aportan una diversidad de enfoques, metodos y perspectivas de la que resulta una imagen mucho mas rica de la infanta en tanto que figura politica y cultural. Isabel no solo cobra vida como personaje historico en el escenario diplomatico europeo en la Edad Moderna, sino tambien en las practicas visuales, devocionales y rituales concretas en las que se sustentaba la soberania femenina.
