«Novelas ejemplares y amorosas» is a story collection by María de Zayas y Sotomayor, published by Signo Editores in paperback (200 pages, in Spanish).
Written in seventeenth-century Spain, these short novels adopt the frame-story scheme and an exemplary tone to link tales of love, wit and deception. The female perspective runs through the episodes and turns each case into a reflection on the role of women, freedom and criticism of a society that restricts them.
Volume 7 of the Grandes Escritoras collection. The work was originally published in 1637; this Spanish edition dates from 2005.
For readers interested in Golden Age narrative and in literature written by women, with a critical and vindicative outlook.
