The reader will discover how this author managed his own literary career through strategies such as self-commentary, the inclusion of portraits in his printed works, and the design of title pages. A fundamental book for understanding the construction of authorial identity in the Spanish Golden Age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book focuses on the figure of Manuel de Faria y Sousa, an author who developed a diverse and extensive body of work during the late Renaissance. Four key biographies are edited and studied: the \u003cem\u003eRetrato de Manuel de Faria\u003c\/em\u003e (1650) by Moreno Porcel, the first independent biography of a poet in Spanish; an earlier manuscript version of the same (c. 1648); the biography written by Lope de Vega in the preliminaries of a 1639 book; and the update by the Count of Ericeira in 1733. In addition, Faria's own autobiography, titled \u003cem\u003eFortuna\u003c\/em\u003e, is analyzed. The preliminary study reveals how Faria y Sousa was a writer conscious of his authorial role, implementing strategies such as self-commentary on his work, the arrangement of portraits in his publications, the design of title pages, the configuration of a catalogue, and his participation in literary polemics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Topics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLiterary biography of Manuel de Faria y Sousa and his historical context in the Golden Age.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction of authorial identity and management of literary career in the Renaissance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eEditorial and paratextual strategies: portraits, title pages, self-commentaries, and catalogues.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCritical edition and study of primary biographical sources from the 17th and 18th centuries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLiterary relations between peninsular authors, including Lope de Vega.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at researchers, students of Golden Age literature, philologists, and cultural historians interested in literary biography, the construction of authorship, and Renaissance editorial strategies.
