This essay aims to provide an overview of the Italian translations of Spanish Golden Age theatre from the 19th century to the present, identifying above all the differences in the approach to Spanish texts compared to previous centuries and the distinctive features of each historical-cultural period within this long span of time. Romantic translations (a period marked by the great collections of theatrical texts by Monti and La Cecilia) were characterised by their marked preference for religious and honour-based dramas and for the works of Calderón; while the 20th century saw a general reworking of the corpus of translated texts, with a stable presence of Calderón and the recovery of the dramas on peasant honour by Lope de Vega. The emergence and affirmation of the poetic translation is highlighted, from the early experiments of the 1920s to the general acceptance of our days, and the role hispanists and writers played in this choice. An analysis of the corpus of translation collections in the 20th and 21st centuries, as well as of the many individual translations, also shows how the canon of the Spanish Golden Age theatre has changed both on the academic and editorial side.

Este artículo tiene por objetivo identificar las razones que pueden explicar cómo un modesto banco local, fundado por un grupo de comerciantes que desempeñaban su actividad en el puerto de Santander en los años centrales del siglo XIX, pudo mantenerse en el tiempo hasta, avanzado ya el siglo XX, lograr estar en condiciones de entrar a formar parte en el selecto club de los “siete grandes” de la banca española. Se concluye que fueron los fuertes vínculos familiares y de amistad instrumental entre sus gestores, junto con el diseño de una política financiera con marcada aversión al riesgo, y el talante proteccionista, los que conforman los tres principales rasgos a tener en consideración para explicar el porqué de su longevidad y prolongado acomodo al ámbito de lo local a lo largo del periodo considerado. Estos rasgos caracterizadores empezaron a perfilarse ya en sus orígenes como banco emisor. This paper aims to identify the reasons can help us to explain how a modest local bank, founded by a group of merchants that carried out their activity in the port of Santander in the central years of the 19th century, was able to sustain over time until joining the select club of the “big seven” of Spanish banking. It is concluded that three distinctive features should take into account in order to explain its longevity and prolonged accommodation to the local sphere throughout this long period: the strong family ties and instrumental friendship between its managers, the design of a financial policy with marked risk aversion and a protectionist attitude, against all competition. These distinctive features began to emerge in its very origins as an issuing bank.

This article seeks to give a first and comprehensive impression on the different stages of translations from Spanish Baroque theatre into German. While in the 17th and 18th centuries that contact is usually established through Dutch, Italian and French translations, it is at the beginning of the 19th century that key figures of the German Romanticism translate theatrical plays of the Spanish Baroque with a strong focus on formal aspects and philological accuracy. Nevertheless, this article shows that the first contacts between Golden Age theatre and Germany are much older than generally assumed and that the influence of Calderón and Lope on the creation of a German theatre tradition might be much stronger than it is commonly thought. Therefore, this article calls for a more profound study of the circulation of Spanish Golden Age theatre in Europe.

This article deals with the humor translation in Italian through the analysis of two comedies by Calderón de la Barca. In the 19th century, Pietro Monti published several volumes with different plays of the Spanish Golden Age, among which are Amar después de la muerte and Casa con dos puertas malas es de guardar. This article focuses on two problem areas, language-specific and culture-specific jokes, and it analyses the strategies used for Italian translation, in particular, the forms of compensation and adaptation or cases of ‘untranslatability’.

Resumen: Este trabajo rinde homenaje al noble que más dio de qué hablar en su tiempo, el XII Duque de Osuna Mariano Téllez-Girón y Beaufort-Spontin (1814-1882), sin duda el último vástago de la gran raza de Osuna. Esta casa nobiliaria precisamente alcanzaba su cenit en pleno siglo XIX, convirtiéndose en una de las más poderosas de Europa. Pero el inmenso patrimonio amasado durante generaciones que recibe Mariano sin esperarlo, al ser segundón de la Casa, se consume por completo, al gastar el duque con tanto derroche que ni siquiera pudo pagarse el sepulcro donde yace. De ahí que Mariano Osuna haya pasado a la historia, por encima de todo, como arquetipo de despilfarrador. Sin embargo, también desbordaba humanidad y generosidad a raudales, de lo que recibieron sobradas muestras no solo sus deudos y dependientes sino también su propia patria pues jamás cobró los muchos servicios militares y diplomáticos que prestó a España.Abstract: This work pays homage to the most controversial noblemen of his time, the XII Duke of Osuna Mariano Téllez-Girón and Beaufort-Spontin (1814-1882); undoubtedly the last scion of the great breed of Osuna. This noble house precisely reached its zenith at the height of the 19th century becoming one of the most powerful houses all over Europe. However, the vast wealth gathered over generations that Mariano received unexpectedly, since he was the second son of the house, ran out because of the Duke’s wasteful spending. He could not even afford the payment of his tomb where he lies. That is why Mariano Osuna has passed into history, above all, as the archetype of spendthrift. Anyway, he also overflowed humanity and generosity in abundance, as quite evidenced to his relatives, dependents and homeland. He never wanted to charge the emoluments of the many military and diplomatic services that he provided Spain with.

Building on Tzvetan Todorov's observation that the detective novel ‘contains not one but two stories: the story of the crime and the story of the investigation’, this essay argues that detective novels display a remarkably wide range of attitudes toward the several pasts they represent: the pasts of the crime, the community, the criminal, the detective, and public history. It traces a series of defining shifts in these attitudes through the evolution of five distinct subgenres of detective fiction: exploits of a Great Detective like Sherlock Holmes, Golden Age whodunits that pose as intellectual puzzles to be solved, hardboiled stories that invoke a distant past that the present both breaks with and echoes, police procedurals that unfold in an indefinitely extended present, and historical mysteries that nostalgically fetishize the past. It concludes with a brief consideration of genre readers’ own ambivalent phenomenological investment in the past, present, and future each detective story projects.

This book explores the exceptional roles that women played in the vibrant cultural and political life of medieval Byzantium. This book evokes the complex and exotic world of Byzantium's women, from empresses and saints to uneducated rural widows. Drawing on a diverse range of sources, the book sheds light on the importance of marriage in imperial statecraft, the tense coexistence of empresses in the imperial court, and the critical relationships of mothers and daughters. It looks at women's interactions with eunuchs, the in-between gender in Byzantine society, and shows how women defended their rights to hold land. The book describes how women controlled their inheritances, participated in urban crowds demanding the dismissal of corrupt officials, followed the processions of holy icons and relics, and marked religious feasts with liturgical celebrations, market activity, and holiday pleasures. The vivid portraits that emerge here reveal how women exerted an unrivalled influence on the patriarchal society of Byzantium, and remained active participants in the many changes that occurred throughout the empire's millennial history. The book brings together the author's finest essays on women and gender written throughout the long span of her career. This volume includes three new essays published here for the very first time and a new general introduction. It also provides a concise introduction to each essay that describes how it came to be written and how it fits into her broader views about women and Byzantium.
