«Novelas ejemplares y amorosas» is the collection of novels by María de Zayas y Sotomayor, published by Compañía Europea de Comunicación e Información.
Several self-contained stories are linked by a frame narrative, a device akin to the Decameron or the Thousand and One Nights. The exemplary intent inherited from Cervantes coexists with the Baroque taste for ambiguity: disguise allows for the swapping of social and sexual roles. It is an early example of literary fiction written by a woman in Spanish.
It corresponds to volume I of the Biblioteca de El Sol collection and was published in 1990 in paperback.
For readers of classical Spanish literature and those interested in women's narrative of the Golden Age.
