Henry Constable's Manuscript Refutation of Cardinal Allen
(2026) Pérez Jáuregui, María Jesús; Filología Inglesa (Literatura Inglesa y Norteamericana); HUM322: Estudios Medievales y Renacentistas Ingleses
This article examines A Commentarie or explication of a letter written by Cardinall Allen in defence of Ser William Stanleys act of Betrayinge of Deuenter, an unprinted 1587 polemical treatise by the English poet and courtier Henry Constable (1562–1613). Constable’s Catholic activities are widely documented, yet his lesser-known Protestant youth and the resulting political documents, like this treatise, have been overlooked. The tract is a detailed response to Cardinal William Allen’s A copie of a lettre, which attempted to legitimize Sir William Stanley’s high-profile defection and incite Catholic rebellion. Identified here for the first time as existing in Beinecke MS 621, the text is situated alongside Allen’s pamphlet and other contemporary Protestant responses. It showcases Constable’s staunch commitment to the English Crown and the European Protestant cause during the national crisis leading up to the Armada. His systematic refutation defends Elizabeth I’s intervention, champions the French Huguenots, and dismantles papal authority, revealing his extensive knowledge of history and the sophisticated rhetorical skills he would deploy for the rest of his life. This study offers the first physical description of the manuscript and pays attention to the authorial revisions, which reflect Constable’s acute awareness of the rapid political decline of his patron, Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. The treatise is a unique textual artifact and an invaluable record of Constable’s shrewd navigation of political necessity, providing essential context for his later diplomatic career.

"To their coy mistresses": tradición e innovación en la poesía amorosa de Herrick a Rochester
(Universidad de La Laguna, 1990) Mora, María José; Filología Inglesa (Literatura Inglesa y Norteamericana); HUM322: Estudios Medievales y Renacentistas Ingleses
The paper explores the development of English love poetry in the seventeenth century. Based on an analysis of three poems by Herrick, Marvell and Rochester, it will investigate how their respective renderings of the same theme (carpe diem) reveal a different conception of love and poetry, as well as a different view of the world. They all share as a common background the Petrarchan tradition of the Elizabethans, but deviate from it with an ironic attitude ranging from the trivial light- heartedness of Cavalier lyrics, to the dramatic intensity of the Metaphysics and, finally, the devastating cynicism of Restoration authors.
“Useful, Substantial, and Splendid”: Frugality, Health, and Advice in Elizabeth Moxon’s English Housewifry (1749)
(Servicio de Publicaciones, Universidad de La Laguna, 2026) Gómez Calderón, María José; Filología Inglesa (Literatura Inglesa y Norteamericana); Agencia Estatal de Investigación. España; Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional (FEDER); HUM322: Estudios Medievales y Renacentistas Ingleses
This article approaches English Housewifry (Moxon 1749) as a carefully calibrated system for giving advice rather than a mere collection of recipes. Drawing on a copy-text-based analysis of this programme, Bills of Fare, index, and running prose, it shows how clause-level resources, imperatives, agentless passives, let-constructions, prohibitives, and permissive you may, create a graded directive logic sensitive to task and risk. Ethical concerns with frugality and health emerge through purpose clauses and evaluative lexis, turning procedure into reasoned counsel. Beyond the clause, layout and scheduling in the Bills of Fare encode seasonality and service order. Framed in Systemic Functional Linguistics, the study reveals a voice of experienced domestic governance: firm where safety matters, flexible where taste and expense allow.
Accenti critici e progettualità formative per le donne in a serious proposal to the ladies di Mary Astell (1694)
(Universidad de Almería, 2016) Cagnolati, Antonella; Marín Conejo, Sergio; Filología Inglesa (Literatura Inglesa y Norteamericana); HUM322: Estudios Medievales y Renacentistas Ingleses
Nell”Inghilterra del secolo XVII si andavano argomentando con sempre maggior frequenza nuove proposte per l”educazione femminile, in parte sostenute dalle istanze religiose della Riforma protestante che vedeva nella donna il pilastro morale della famiglia e la prima educatrice dei figli, in parte su esplicita richiesta delle nuove classi borghesi, intenzionate a dare alle figlie una solida istruzione. Le teorie tradizionali elaborate da intellettuali, filosofi e predicatori furono fortemente messe in crisi allorquando le donne si impadronirono della cultura e cominciarono a scrivere trattati in cui rivendicavano per loro i medesimi percorsi educativi previsti per gli uomini, sostenendo che la fonte principale della disuguaglianza risiede nella diversa istruzione che viene impartita, non nel mero aspetto biologico o fisiologico. Il primo trattato pedagogico femminista fu opera di Mary Astell.
Laberinto educativo y aprendizaje fake: Tenemos que hablar [Reseña]
(University of Windsor, 2025-11-18) Albarrán Gutiérrez, Álvaro; Filología Inglesa (Literatura Inglesa y Norteamericana); HUM488: Estudios Norteamericanos
This book review discusses Ramón Espejo Romero's latest publication, a volume that surveys the educational crisis that Spanish public education currently faces. The review situates the book in a larger trend of publications that have recently emerged to contest the current state of affairs in Spanish primary, secondary, and higher education. It provides an overview of the volume's contents, highlighting its contributions to the current academic debate and its approach to the challenges that beset public education not only in Spain but also in the broader Western world. In so doing, the review underscores the volume's interest for a wide international (albeit Spanish-speaking) audience--an audience concerned with the gradual deterioration of academic standards in public settings, and committed to the need to reclaim a high-quality, affordable, and all-inclusive public education for all.
From Trans-Species Vulnerability to Social-Ecological Resilience: Aminatta Forna’s Happiness (2018)
(Asociación Española de Estudios Anglo-Norteamericanos, 2025-06-25) Sánchez-Palencia Carazo, Carolina; Filología Inglesa (Literatura Inglesa y Norteamericana); HUM753: Escritoras y Escrituras
Aminatta Forna’s Happiness (2018) presents contemporary London both as a site of trans-species vulnerability and as a social-ecological system defined by its capacity for resilience, adaptability and transformability. Drawing on Judith Butler’s reconceptualization of vulnerability as resistance (2016), and on the ecofeminist extension of the ethics of care to non-human others, my analysis explores Forna’s cast of resilient characters who are transiting the postcolonial metropolis and are affected by various expressions of what Rob Nixon calls “slow violence” (2011). Additionally, by adopting the critical framework of resilience thinking and assuming its capacity to create decolonial narratives of survival and healing, I contend that it is possible to interrogate the boundaries that characterize the Anthropocene—between nature and culture, humans and non-humans, global and local, development and conservation—and accept Forna’s proposal to move beyond these dichotomies so as to embrace the importance of shared materialities, affects and ecosystems.
Edward Howard’s The Man of Newmarket (1678) and the King’s Company’s Complaint Against Dryden

The Power of Fancy: Liberty and Imagination in Philip Freneau's College Writings
(Papiro. Universidad de Zaragoza, 2025) Albarrán Gutiérrez, Álvaro; Filología Inglesa (Literatura Inglesa y Norteamericana); HUM488: Estudios Norteamericanos
Like other prominent members of the revolutionary generation, Philip Freneau lived his formative years against the backdrop of the imperial crisis that would lead to the independence of the US in 1776, and this would make a lasting impression on his later life and writings, especially as regards his ideas on the possibility for creativity and individuality in a time of increasing politicisation. This article examines the particular terms in which the poet’s college experiences influenced his conflicted take on liberty and imagination, which remained a persistent concern both during and after his time at the College of New Jersey (now Princeton). Drawing on original archival work, the article focuses on his most extensive reflection on the matter, “The Power of Fancy” (1770), and offers an analysis of the poem in connection with several other prominent eighteenth-century philosophical and literary texts that also address the imaginative faculty. In so doing, the article reveals the workings of an anti-imaginistic tradition, instilled through the curriculum of late-colonial Princeton, in Freneau’s college writings — a tradition that the poet both espoused and resisted on his quest for individual autonomy and creative expression.

Transforming attitudes towards the Turk in Edward Ravenscroft's Mamamouchi, or The citizen turn'd gentleman (1672) and Moliere's Le bourgeois Gentilhomme (1668)
(Springer Nature, 2023-06-02) Caro Partridge, Eneas; Filología Inglesa (Literatura Inglesa y Norteamericana); Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (MICIN). España; HUM322: Estudios Medievales y Renacentistas Ingleses
When Edward Ravenscroft approached the polarising figure of the Turk in The citizen turn’d gentleman (1672), an adaptation of Molière’s Le bourgeois gentilhomme (1668), he inherited certain structures and motivations that stem out of very specific attitudes towards the Ottomans that were not easily transposed onto the English context. This did not stop him from penning one of the most successful plays of his time, but it also did not stop the critics from deeming his adaptation a cheap knockoff that hardly altered the original and was closer to a translation than to any exercise of real talent. His adaptation, however, builds on the expectations of his London audiences and the trends on narrative-building regarding East–West relations to cleverly alter the reception of the play rather than the execution thereof, resulting in a minimal style of adaptation that produced a profound outcome. This study explores Ravenscroft’s way of dealing with the very central figure of the Turk in The citizen turn’d gentleman and the relation to the original source material in order to prove that his decision was a conscious act, part of a much more complex adaptative procedure than he is given credit for.
Bertha Mason: representación del cuerpo femenino descontrolado en Jane Eyre de Charlotte Brontë
(Universidad de Sevilla, 2025) Caro Rodríguez, Inmaculada; Filología Inglesa (Literatura Inglesa y Norteamericana); HUM201: James Joyce: Evolución Narrativa y Sus Repercusiones
La figura de Bertha Mason sirve como una poderosa encarnación del cuerpo femenino descontrolado y percibido como una amenaza en la sociedad victoriana en la novela Jane Eyre de Charlotte Brontë. A través de la caracterización de Bertha, Brontë explora las ansiedades de la época respecto a la independencia de las mujeres. Bertha es representada como lo exótico e incontrolable, reflejando preocupaciones sociales victorianas. Su locura aparente la convierten en un peligro que debe ser confinado, simbolizado por su encarcelamiento en el ático de Thornfield Hall. Este confinamiento físico es una metáfora de la represión social y psicológica impuesta sobre las mujeres. En contraste, la protagonista Jane Eyre representa el ideal victoriano de autodisciplina y control corporal. El trágico destino de Bertha, culminando en su posible suicidio y la destrucción de Thornfield, constituyen tanto una liberación ambigua como la eliminación de una amenaza. El análisis de estos personajes tiene como objetivo analizar la lucha por la emancipación femenina dentro de las normas restrictivas de su tiempo con la intención de dar a conocer las dinámicas de poder y control en la literatura victoriana, teniendo en cuenta la aproximación foucaultiana en términos de control social.

An approach to language through different gender theories is proposed: mainly from the history of women of Joan W. Scott Women, and the feminisms of difference, reworking post-structuralist ideas.
Evidence of the use of the Physiologus as a source in Aldhelm's enigmata
(Oxford University Press, 2021) Salvador Bello, Mercedes; Filología Inglesa (Literatura Inglesa y Norteamericana); HUM322: Estudios Medievales y Renacentistas Ingleses
Among the 100 riddles of Aldhelm’s Enigmata, 36 deal with animals. Apart from Pliny’s Historia naturalis and Solinus’s Polyhistor, Aldhelm made use of the medieval encyclopaedic source par excellence, Isidore’s Book XII (De animalibus) from the Etymologiae, which has universally been acknowledged as the author’s major source for these riddles. However, the Physiologus was a further traditional zoological treatise from which Aldhelm could have drawn some information. Of the 36 zoological topics of Aldhelm’s Enigmata at least 13 of them are also treated in the Physiologus and so the portrayals of the animals offered in these riddles could have been inspired by this work. It has usually been assumed that most of these descriptions derive from Isidore’s Book XII but not much has been said about the possible connection of some of them to the Physiologus. The main aim of this essay is therefore to study the contents of a selected group of zoological riddles from Aldhelm’s collection and demonstrate that some of the clues observed in them suggest that, apart from Isidore’s Book XII, this author had a version of the Physiologus at his disposal for the composition of his Enigmata.
Educating King and Court: The Exeter Book and the Transmission of Poetic Anthologies in the (Post-)Alfredian Period
(Ediuno. Ediciones de la Universidad de Oviedo, 2024-07-29) Salvador Bello, Mercedes; Filología Inglesa (Literatura Inglesa y Norteamericana); HUM322: Estudios medievales y renacentistas ingleses
Taking as a starting point Asser’s De gestis Alfredi regis (XXIII)—which mentions that Alfred was given a book containing English verse—this article sets out to consider the existence of vernacular poetic anthologies as early as this period. If Asser’s episode is true, the book in question must have been a collection of Old English poetry, of which the Exeter Book may have been a later reflex, since it has been argued that this codex contains an anthology (Muir 1994). The design of the manuscript could then be in line with that of the Anthologia Latina, the most important model of the early Middle Ages. This compendium originated in Africa in the sixth century and eventually found its way to various European countries, including England. It may thus have become the prototype for autochthonous poetic collections of the kind mentioned in Asser’s history. In this light, this paper is the first to seriously consider the hypothesis that the Exeter Book may have been compiled during King Alfred’s period, or perhaps not much later (Sisam 1953). In doing so, it envisages the use of vernacular anthologies as educational tools for both the king and the courtiers in early medieval England.
