A Shameful Revenge & Other Stories by Maria de Zayas y Sotomayor

Folio Society collection of eight proto-Romantic short stories by de Zayas first published in Spain in 1637 and 1647, translated and introduced by Sturrock. Maria de Zayas y Sotomayor (1590-1661) wrote during Spain’s Golden Age of literature. She is considered by a number of modern critics as one of the pioneers of modern literary feminism, while others consider her simply a well-accomplished baroque author. The female characters in de Zayas’ stories were used as vehicles to enlighten readers about the plight of women in Spanish society, or to instruct them in proper ways to live their lives.
