0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Excellent; Scholarly LexiconBy ZoraidaThis s an excellent scholarly lexicon; ideal for college students and professors alike. The fact that it includes concepts from both sides of the Atlantic --from early modern Spain and Spanish America-- makes it a wonderful tool for scholars and students. The contributors are renown scholars who study the Spanish Baroque from a transatlantic perspective. I bought the kindle copy of this Lexicon to have it with me when I travel; as well as the book itself. I congratulate the editors of this collection for their feat.
