Rabell examines how Italian novellas were adapted reinterpreted and transformed in Spain during the Counter-Reformation period. The book delves into how the genre of the novella widely popular across Europe particularly in Italy was subjected to religious moral and political scrutiny in 16th and 17th century Spain. This study focuses on the mechanisms of censorship adaptation and translation that altered the original Italian novellas to fit the cultural and ideological demands of Spanish society at the time. Rabell traces the shifts in narrative content structure and themes as the novella was reworked to align with the strict moral standards imposed by the Counter-Reformation which sought to reinforce Catholic orthodoxy. Through detailed analysis she explores how literary works were reshaped to serve as tools of moral instruction while retaining the entertainment value of the original texts. Key aspects of this transformation involved toning down or removing elements of satire licentiousness and irreverence which were often present in Italian novellas and replacing them with moral or didactic lessons in line with the religious values upheld by the Spanish Inquisition. -- "As they reshaped the Italian novella under the inquisitorial atmosphere of the Counter-Reformation Spanish narrators labelled their texts as exemplary. However critics have usually agreed that there is a contradiction between the morals preached in the narrative frames prologues and sententiae of Spanish novellas and the content of the plots. This book argues that this ambiguity is a result of the use of the rhetoric of the fictitious case. Spanish novellas rewrite the Italian genre through the rhetoric of the fictitious case and with the specific purpose of either challenging or validating the new set of rules regarding marriage introduced by the Council of Trent. Since civil canonical and family hierarchies were based on the same metaphor that conceives power as one body in which by analogy the husband is the head of his wife as the monarch is the head of the state and the Pope is the head of the church Spanish novellas explore the contradictions between civil and canon laws regarding marriage within the private space of the home in order to suggest further contradictions within the public sphere of the state and the church. The fictitious case provides a rhetoric to test the validity of the legal grounds of Counter-Reformation Spain. Carmen R. Rabell is Associate Professor at the Department of Comparative Literature at the University of Puerto Rico R o Piedras." -- Contents: Introduction; 1 The Theory of the Novella Francisco de Lugo y D vila and Francesco Bonciani's Forensic Readings of Aristotle; Forensic Discourse and the Novella 2 The Role of Law in the Spanish Versions of Italian Novellas Buried Alive: Telling the Story of Romeo and Juliet in Post-Tridentine Spain; Orbecche and Ardenia: The World Upside Down; The Legend of Two Friends: Changing the Face of the Body Politic 3 The Fictitious Case and the Spanish Novella 'El celoso extreme o': Arguing For and Against the Legal Infancy of Women; Narrating the Impossible: The Resurrection of Women; 'El andr gino' by Francisco de Lugo y D vila: Speaking from a Woman's Body; Conclusion; Works Cited; Index Tamesis / Boydell & Brewer hardcover
