Honor and Violence in Golden Age Spain

About Honor and Violence in Golden Age Spain

Drawing on criminal and other records to assess the character of violence among non-elite Spaniards, this work finds that appealing to honour was a rhetorical strategy, and that insults, gestures, and violence were all part of a varied repertoire that allowed both men and women to decide how to dispute issues of truth and reputation.
