La evolución del canon femenino en la poesía castellana: de las rubias medievales y áureas a las morenas de la Edad de Plata

Resumen

The configuration of the female canon in the poetry of the Golden Age recreates over and over again the perfect woman as blonde and with light eyes. We must take into account the Classical Antiquity of Ovid or Virgil, the popular lyric, the repressive medieval austerity of the passions and the Italy of Dante, Petrarca and Botticelli. Later, we can see how the Silver Age reacts against this image anchored in the Arts and offers us a real woman, a new conception of love and, above all, of female sexuality. In this study we intend to establish a comparison between both periods with a diachronic and interdisciplinary approach between literature and painting.
