Abstract
As few hispanists have failed to notice,early modern Spainis more often appearing as an alternative term for what we used to callthe Spanish Golden Age.University catalogs still advertise courses on Golden Age poetry, but lectures are more apt to bear titles such as “The Crisis of the Gift in Early Modern Spain.” Although some recent books—Inventing the Sacred: Imposture, Inquisition, and the Boundaries of the Supernatural in Golden Age Spain(Keitt),Honor and Violence in Golden Age Spain(Taylor), andAn Erotic Philology of Golden Age Spain(Martín)—displayGolden Agein their titles, they share shelf space with offerings such asThe Drama of the Portrait: Theater and Visual Culture in Early Modern Spain(Bass),Imperial Lyric: New Poetry and New Subjects in Early Modern Spain(Middlebrook), andFamily and Community in Early Modern Spain: The Citizens of Granada(Casey). The preference forearly modernis showing up even in genres in which traditional usage might be expected. An anthology by Barbara Mujica, published in 1991, is subtitledRenacimiento y Siglo de Oro, but the cover of an anthology edited by her and published thirteen years later readsSophia's Daughters: Women Writers of Early Modern Spain.
