In the light of the unsettling gender implications for the courtly lover, says Folger, the authors of sentimental fiction explored new ways of subject constitution based not on passionate attachment but on identification. \u003ci\u003eC�rcel de amor\u003c\/i\u003e shows how new forms of writing and reading techniques and authorship provided an avenue for a new notion of interiority that was essential to the Golden Age of Spanish literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unc Department of Romance Studies","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47610578534551,"sku":"9780807892961","price":3156.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780807892961.webp?v=1775065859","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/escape-from-the-prison-of-love-caloric-identities-and-writing-subjects-in-fifteenth-century-spain-9780807892961","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
