This book-the first to closely examine honor and interpersonal violence in the era-overturns this idea, arguing that the way Spanish men and women actually behaved was very different from the behavior depicted in dueling manuals, law books, and "honor plays" of the period. Drawing on criminal and other records to assess the character of violence among non-elite Spaniards, historian Scott K. Taylor finds that appealing to honor was a rhetorical strategy, and that insults, gestures, and violence were all part of a varied repertoire that allowed both men and women to decide how to dispute issues of truth and reputation.DuelingSpainHistoryCriminal lawSpainHistoryReputation (Law)SpainHistoryHonorSpainHistoryDuelingHistory.Criminal lawHistory.Reputation (Law)History.HonorHistory.345.46/0256Taylor Scott K.1969-1505665MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780868703321Honor and violence in Golden Age Spain3735375UNINA
