Enrique García Santo-Tomás's book, "Signos vitales: Procreación e imagen en la narrativa áurea," is an interdisciplinary study that examines the discourse of childbirth in medical treatises and fiction from 1500 to 1698 in early modern Spain. The book analyzes the various people, issues, and metaphors surrounding childbirth during this time period. It is the second installment in a trilogy that explores the relationship between literature and the scientific and technological context of early modern Spain. The book includes three parts that cover different time periods, a bibliography, detailed footnotes, and reproductions of artworks. It also acknowledges the role of women in the field of fiction and suggests further research into women-authored texts on this topic. [Extracted from the article] |
