Conclusion.This book explores Queen Esther as an idealized woman in Iberia, as well as a Jewish heroine for conversos in the Sephardic Diaspora in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The biblical Esther --the Jewish woman who marries the King of Persia and saves her people -- was contested in the cultures of early modern Europe, authored as a symbol of conformity as well as resistance. At once a queen and minority figure under threat, for a changing Iberian and broader European landscape, Esther was compelling and relatable precisely because of her hybridity. She was an early modern globetrotter and border transgressor. Emily Colbert Cairns analyzes the many retellings of the biblical heroine that were composed in a turbulent early modern Europe. These narratives reveal national undercurrents where religious identity was transitional and fluid, thus problematizing the fixed notion of national identity within a particular geographic location. This volume instead proposes a model ofa Sephardic nationality that existed beyond geographical borders.Judaism and cultureEuropeHistory1492-Jewish Cultural StudiesHistory of Early Modern EuropeJudaism and culture.EuropeHistory1492-.Jewish Cultural Studies.History of Early Modern Europe.296.38Colbert Cairns Emilyauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut938208BOOK9910255205503321Esther in Early Modern Iberia and the Sephardic Diaspora2113506UNINA
