Emily Houlik-Ritchey employs an innovative comparative methodology that integrates the understudied Castilian literary tradition with English literature. Intentionally departing from the standard "influence and transmission" approach, Imagining Iberia challenges that standard discourse with modes drawn from Neighbor Theory to reveal and navigate the relationships among three selected medieval romance traditions. This welcome volume uncovers an overemphasis in prior scholarship on the relevance of "crusading" agendas in medieval romance, and highlights the shared investments of Christians and Muslims in Iberia's political, creedal, cultural, and mercantile networks in the Mediterranean world. 606 $aRomances, English$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aRomances, English$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a821.1 700 $aHoulik-Ritchey$b Emily$01347528 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910637694803321 996 $aImagining Iberia in English and Castilian Medieval Romance$93083855 997 $aUNINA
