As a pioneer of the “new poetry” of Renaissance Europe, aligned with the court, empire, and modernity, Garcilaso was fully attuned to the collection and circulation of luxury artefacts and other worldly goods. In his poems, a variety of objects, including tapestries, paintings, statues, urns, mirrors, and relics participate in lyric acts of discovery and self-revelation, reveal memory as contingent and unstable, expose knowledge of the self as deceptive, and show how history intersects with the ideology of empire.Mary E. Barnard’s study argues persuasively that the material culture of early sixteenth-century Europe embedded within Garcilaso’s poems offers a key to understanding the interplay between objects and texts that make those works such vibrant inventions.Toronto Iberic.Material culture in literatureMaterial cultureEuropeHistory16th centuryElectronic books.Material culture in literature.Material cultureHistory861/.3Barnard Mary E.1944-759324MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910460344503321Garcilaso de la Vega and the material culture of Renaissance Europe1534881UNINA
