Fruitful Country: Appreciating Scottish Landscapes, 1400–1700
This article discusses how educated Scots evaluated landscapes between about 1400 and 1700. In more recent times, people have tended to distinguish between farmland or working landscapes, seen as unattractive, and wild or ‘natural’ landscapes, seen as attractive.

Examination of her trial in light of information about sexual misconduct on the part of Catholic clerics, however, reveals that what drove María to the emotional and behavioral extremes that her accusers described was neither heresy nor the devil the authorities had in mind. Theologians who evaluated her case and also met with María discerned…

"Living with Rodolfo and Cervantes's "La fuerza de la sangre
Living with Rodolfo and Cervantes's "La fuerza de la sangre" Elizabeth Rhodes "La fuerza de la sangre," the sixth of Cervantes's Novelas ejemplares, is widely recognized as a problematic text. In it, the nobly-born youth Rodolfo abducts, blindfolds, rapes, then completely forgets Leocadia, a lovely sixteen-year-old of the impoverished nobility.
