La Espada, El Rayo Y La Pluma: Quevedo Y Los Campos Literario Y De Poder

This text explores the literary, cultural and political relationships of Francisco de Quevedo (1580-1645), one of the major writers of the Spanish Golden Age. It establishes the birth and development of the first Spanish literary field circa 1600, then focuses on the relationship between the literary field and the field of power (the King, the court at large and the Catholic Church hierarchy).
