• W3017409325 abstract "Reviewed by: Los cielos se agotaron de prodigios: Essays in honor of Frederick A. de Armas ed. by Christopher B. Weimer et al. Sofie Kluge Christopher B. Weimer, Kerry K. Wilks, Benjamin J. Nelson, and Julio Vélez Sainz, editors. Los cielos se agotaron de prodigios: Essays in honor of Frederick A. de Armas. juan de la cuesta, 2018, 374 pp. some books are easy to review, others are difficult. The recent Festschrift to Frederick A. de Armas edited by a team of his former doctoral students is somewhere in between. On one hand, it is difficult to assess because it consists of thirty-one widely differing texts about which little can be summarized: a tribute, an introduction, and twenty-nine scholarly essays with very different subjects and approaches (followed by the impressive curriculum vitae and publication list of Professor de Armas that actually deserve an essay of their own, presenting as they do the image of an exceptional career). On the other hand, however, the book is easy to review for many of the same reasons that make it difficult to do so: Los cielos se agotaron de prodigios: Essays in honor of Frederick A. de Armas presents a delightful variety of learned, thoughtful, and well-composed texts on a wide range of interesting topics written by an array of distinguished Hispanists from each side of the Atlantic. A meticulously edited collection of instructive and entertaining mini-articles of approximately seven to eight pages each, arranged in four sections that attest to some blend of thoughtful commissions and serendipity, reflecting Professor de Armas's scholarly interests (Studies in Calderón; Iberian Stages; Reading the Siglo de Oro: Poetry and Prose; and Don Quixote), the book feels like a big jar of exquisite treats about which it is easy to say something positive because each piece is so rich in erudition and so impeccable in execution. The essays reflect not only the scholarly range and significance but also the personal impact of Professor de Armas, the revered Cuban-born Andrew W. Mellon Distinguished Service Professor in Humanities and Professor of Spanish and Comparative Literature at the University of Chicago, whose [End Page 355] work can be seen to reconcile the two dominant but not always consonant trends of twentieth-century Golden Age scholarship. Thus, in his interesting methodological essay—the only of its kind in the book—Julio Vélez Sainz presents his former supervisor as a figure capable of mediating intellectually between the homegrown Iberian filología a la española and the more theoretically informed Golden Age scholarship practiced primarily but not exclusively in North American universities. Thus, the scholar based at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid who also serves as the Director of the Instituto del Teatro de Madrid sees de Armas's appointment in 2014 as president of the Asociación Internacional Siglo de Oro (AISO) as a welcome sign of a progressing dialogue across these once antagonistic traditions. This reviewer tends to agree with Vélez Sainz and the very diversity of the volume's contributions would seem to confirm his somewhat hyperbolically formulated intuition that Frederick de Armas puede salvar el hispanismo (93). Indeed, displaying the entire spectrum of methods and approaches available to today's Golden Age scholar, the collection sports literary-historical essays and Quellenstudien (Armando Maggi's essay on Renaissance reimaginings of the Cupid and Psyche myth; Juan Pablo Gil-Osle on the representation of the Scipios in European Renaissance drama; Benjamin J. Nelson on Montemayor's inspiration for the Temple of Diana; James A. Parr on the relation between various forms of romance and picaresque; Ryan Giles on Miguel de Cervantes and Jesuit soldiers' manuals; Julio González-Ruiz on Miguel de Cervantes and Ovid; and Thomas Pavel on the Cardenio debate) and analytical readings (Anne J. Cruz on Lope de Vega's exploitation of the Phaedra myth in El castigo sin venganza; Peter Thompson on Jerónimo de Cáncer y Velasco's Orpheus fable; Mary E. Barnard on corporeality in San Juan de la Cruz; Emilie L. Bergmann on emotions and the materiality of language in Cervantes's Don Quijote; Edward H. Friedman on plot in the Quijote..." @default.
