Members of mixed races could, however, free themselves from such burdensome restrictions through the purchase of a gracias al sacar-a royal exemption that provided the privileges of Whiteness. For more than a century, the whitening gracias al sacar has fascinated historians.

'Consideratio' and the audiences of poetry --$tIndex of subjects and authors --$tIndex of manuscripts 330 $aThis study of the definition of literature in the late medieval period is based on manuals of writing and on literary commentary and glosses. It defines a method of reading which may now profitably explain medieval texts, and identifies new primary medieval evidence which may ground and guide new reading. Allen chooses texts whose commentary tradition provides the greatest opportunity for completeness. The most important of these is Ovid's Metamorphoses. Medieval readings of Ovid bring into focus a number of major literary questions--the problems of fable and fiction, of unity imposed by miscellany poetry, of allegorical commentary, and of Christian use of pagan culture--all in connection with text which furnished medieval authors with more stories than any other single source except possibly the Bible. Allen also studies commentaries on the Consolation of Philosophy of Boethius, the Thebaid of Statius, the De nuptiis of Martianus Capella, the medieval Christian hymn-book, and the Poetria nova of Geoffrey of Vinsauf. Together these texts represent the range of medieval literature--a literature which, Allen concludes, was taken as direct ethical discourse, logically conducted and artfully organized within a system of language that also assimilated the natural world and sought to absorb its audience. 606 $aCriticism, Medieval$xHistory 606 $aPoetics$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aLiterature, Medieval$xHistory and criticism 608 $aHistory. 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCriticism, Medieval$xHistory. 615 0$aPoetics$xHistory 615 0$aLiterature, Medieval$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a801/.951/0902 700 $aAllen$b Judson Boyce$f1932-1985,$0164390 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818992703321 996 $aEthical poetic of the later middle ages$9484034 997 $aUNINA
