The Literature of Misogyny in Medieval Spain : The Arcipreste de Talavera and the Spill

Omtale

This book examines the medical underpinnings of two major misogynist works from fifteenth-century Iberia: Alonso de Martínez's Arcipreste de Talavera and Jacme Roig's Spill. Solomon shows how the demonization of women in medieval society was viewed as legitimate and vital to the well-being of men.
