This book is an interdisciplinary edited collection that seeks to recognize the radical importance of sound, and center it in discussions in the field of early modern studies.Bringing together a collection of case studies related spatially and temporally to specific places or events, the volume explores a gallery of soundscapes mapping the early modern Iberian empires. This transnational and comparative style takes a twofold approach: on the one hand, each study works as a snapshot of the soundscape of a given place and time; on the other, the different entries offer a series of paradigms to systematically approach the tensions and developments related to sound in the early modern period. Ultimately, this volume collects soundscapes from multiple territories and geographies: from the kingdoms of the Iberian Peninsula and their expansion throughout the Mediterranean, the Atlantic, and the Pacific.Soundscapes of the Early Modern Hispanophone and Lusophone Worlds will be of great value to students and scholars interested in the history of senses, emotions and theatre, social and cultural history, and early modern history.
