Abstract

The present research takes a journey through the idealising love of the short novel of the seventeenth century to focus on the writer María de Zayas with two of her most renowned works: Novelas amorosas y ejemplares (1635) and Desengaños amorosos (1647). The analysis and typology of the different forms of violence suffered by female characters —due to the prevailing conception of love— offer us a reading of the gender issue during the golden age.
