Baroque literary expression is renowned for its painterly attributes, which this book argues are fundamental to the Spanish novella collection. The genre consists of multiple tales encased in an overarching narrative frame that relays the circumstances in which the characters come together to tell stories. By examining the pictorial episodes in the Spanish baroque novella, this book explains how writers create pictorial texts, how audiences visualise their words, what consequences they exert on cognition, and what actions this process inspires in audiences.
