"The sixteenth century was a time of great religious turmoil in Europe, during which
the critical positions within the Catholic Church led to a definitive break between
Christians. One of the major controversies pertained to the cult of the saints, since
in 1523 Martin Luther denied the mediating role of the saints and repudiated what
he considered excesses in their devotions. The studies presented in this volume examine
the impact of the Reformation on hagiography in the Hispanic sphere. They investigate
how theological positions and controversy were projected onto literature, and how
literature incorporated theological discourse, explicitly or implicitly. Unsurprisingly,
the Catholic Church reaffirmed the hagiographical tradition, but to what extent was
hagiographical literature, specifically Hispanic literature, affected by reformist
approaches? This book explores issues less evident and hitherto neglected: for example,
Hispanic Catholic authorities and authors, influenced by the denunciations of the
excesses of the cult of saints and hagiographical “fables,” publicly declared the
purging of apocryphal elements in saints' lives; in practice, however, they grappled
with the difficulty of applying theoretical criteria to such an enormous subject.
As a result, certain contradictions arose between these criteria and the commitment
to the hagiographical tradition, which some even sought to expand and update. This
complex tension is brought out by the studies gathered here in the fields of hagiographical
prose in Catalan, Portuguese and Spanish, in Iberia and in America, without neglecting
the role of the theater in the dissemination of saints' legends."
