Through the medieval epic poems Cantar de Mio Cid and Mocedades de Rodrigo, the ballad tradition, Cervantes?s Novelas ejemplares, and Lope de Vega?s theatre, Geraldine Hazbun demonstrates that illegitimacy and legitimacy are interconnected and flexible categories defined in relation to marriage, sex, bodies, ethnicity, religion, lineage, and legacy. Both categories are subject to the uncertainties and freedoms of language and fiction and frequently constructed around axes of quantity and completeness. These literary texts, covering a range of illegitimate figures, some with an historical basis, demonstrate that truth, propriety, and standards of behaviour are not forged in the law code or the pulpit but in literature?s fluid system of producing meaning. 345 $aWilliams Fund 410 0$aThe New Middle Ages,$x2945-5944 606 $aLiterature, Medieval 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aEurope$xHistory$x476-1492 606 $aPhilosophy, Medieval 606 $aReligion$xHistory 606 $aMedieval Literature 606 $aLiterary History 606 $aEuropean Literature 606 $aHistory of Medieval Europe 606 $aMedieval Philosophy 606 $aHistory of Religion 615 0$aLiterature, Medieval. 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 0$aEurope$xHistory$x476-1492. 615 0$aPhilosophy, Medieval. 615 0$aReligion$xHistory. 615 14$aMedieval Literature. 615 24$aLiterary History. 615 24$aEuropean Literature. 615 24$aHistory of Medieval Europe. 615 24$aMedieval Philosophy. 615 24$aHistory of Religion. 676 $a860.9 676 $a860.93526945 700 $aHazbun$b Geraldine$0523057 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484185203321 996 $aReading illegitimacy in early Iberian literature$92848055 997 $aUNINA
