Most of the canonical works of literature of early modern Spain, and indeed of Spain before the latter part of the 19th century, were written by men who owed their license to write to their relation to authority--as lawyers, secretaries to noble families, or as men of noble blood themselves,--and they wrote for a nervously status-conscious public. How, then, should we interpret the many works that represent outsiders: Turks, moriscos, thieves, pimps, prostitutes--and all unconventional women? H ow are these text positioned in relation to what they represent? Do they present subversive or contestatory discourses, or are they, in the final analysis, complicit with the dominant codes and practices of their culture?
