505 0  Introduction -- The creation of female disability : 
       medical, prescriptive and moral discourses -- The artifice
       of syphilitic and damaged female bodies in literature -- 
       The disabling of aging female bodies : midwives, 
       procuresses, witches and the monstrous mother -- 
       Historical testimony of female disability : the 
       neurological impairment of Teresa de Ávila -- Conclusion. 
520    "Examines the concept and roles of women in selected 
       Spanish discourses and literary texts from the late 
       fifteenth to the seventeenth centuries from the 
       perspective of feminist disability theories. This study 
       explores a wide range of Spanish medical, regulatory and 
       moral discourses, illustrating how such texts inherit, 
       reproduce and propagate an amalgam of Western traditional 
       concepts of female embodiment. It goes on to examine 
       concrete representations of deviant female characters, 
       focusing on the figures of syphilitic prostitutes and 
       physically decayed aged women in literary texts such as 
       Celestina, Lozana andaluza and selected works by Cervantes
       and Quevedo. Finally, an analysis of the personal 
       testimony of Teresa de Ávila, a nun suffering from 
       neurological disorders, complements the discussion of 
       early modern women's disability. By expanding the meanings
       of contemporary theories of materiality and the social 
       construction of disability, the book concludes that--
       paradoxically--femininity, bodily afflictions and mental 
       instability characterized the new literary heroes at the 
       very time Spain was at the apex of its imperial power. 
       Ultimately, as this study shows, the broken female bodies 
       of pre-industrial Spanish literature reveal the cracks in 
       the foundational principles of power and established 
       truths."--Page 4 of cover.
