Excellent- More about Imagining Iberia in English and Castilian Medieval Romance
Emily Houlik-Ritchey's book explores the literary depiction of Iberia in two European vernaculars, challenging the standard "influence and transmission" approach and highlighting the shared investments of Christians and Muslims in Iberia's political, creedal, cultural, and mercantile networks.

Publisher: The University of Michigan Press
Imagining Iberia in English and Castilian Medieval Romance delves into a comprehensive interdisciplinary exploration, encompassing linguistic, literary, and national dimensions. By examining the literary portrayal of Iberia in two European vernaculars, which have often been overlooked in tandem, the book offers a fresh perspective. Emily Houlik-Ritchey employs an innovative comparative methodology, seamlessly integrating the understudied Castilian literary tradition with English literature. This approach deviates from the conventional "influence and transmission" approach, challenging the established discourse and unveiling the intricate relationships among three selected medieval romance traditions. This valuable volume sheds light on an overemphasis in previous scholarship on the significance of "crusading" agendas in medieval romance, while also highlighting the shared investments of Christians and Muslims in the political, creedal, cultural, and mercantile networks of Iberia within the Mediterranean world.
