From the cover: This book charts the history of the reception of Spain's founding legend, the eighth-century story of King Roderick and La Cava, which lies at the heart of the most important era of Spanish history. The study explores the continuous appropriation of the story in diverse artistic forms from the Middle Ages to the present, within Spain and other European countries as well as in Latin America and the United States, as a means to confront political crises, issues of national identity, gender, and the nature of history and fiction. The last Visigothic king of Spain's passion for the beautiful La Cava which led to the Muslim conquest of Spain has engaged the talents of such figures as Lope de Vega, Georg Friedrich Handel, Sir Walter Scott, and the contemporary Spanish novelist Juan Goytisolo, fostering a legend of perennial relevance whose evolution will appeal to all readers interested in Spain, Islam, and the West.
