Stemming from a binational conference held at the University of Mainz, the authors explore how spatial concepts materialize in key works of the period. The reader will find a rigorous study that connects the philosophy of space with literary creation, offering new perspectives on Golden Age theater, novels, and poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work examines the evolution of the concept of space from Platonic philosophy to its centrality in the 20th-century humanities, applying it to the analysis of Spanish Golden Age literature. Through twelve essays, diverse literary manifestations are studied: the theater of Juan del Encina, the relationship between thought and extension in the works of the era, the writings of Benito Arias Montano, and texts on public festivities. It also addresses geographical space in Cervantes's \u003cem\u003ePersiles\u003c\/em\u003e, travelogues, the chronotope in \u003cem\u003eGuzmán de Alfarache\u003c\/em\u003e, and the textual space of \u003cem\u003eLa pícara Justina\u003c\/em\u003e. The analysis extends to plays by Lope de Vega, Guillén de Castro, and Tirso de Molina, Góngora's \u003cem\u003eSoledades\u003c\/em\u003e, the theater of Calderón de la Barca, and various short novels that create spaces for sociability and leisure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePhilosophy of space in Golden Age literature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRepresentation of geographical space in Cervantine narrative\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAnalysis of the chronotope in the picaresque novel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eScenic and theatrical space in Lope de Vega, Calderón, and Tirso de Molina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRelationships between textual space and sociability in Golden Age literature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at researchers, philologists, and advanced students of Spanish Golden Age literature, as well as specialists in literary theory and cultural studies interested in the category of space.
