Description

Explore the complex legacy of Queen Esther through this academic study by Palgrave Macmillan. This book examines how the biblical figure served as an idealized woman in Iberia and a Jewish heroine for conversos within the Sephardic Diaspora during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. As a woman who married the King of Persia to save her people, Esther became a contested symbol in early modern Europe. She represented both conformity and resistance, making her a figure of interest for a changing Iberian and European landscape. Because of her hybridity, she was a relatable figure for those navigating different cultural worlds. This work provides a deep look at her role as an early modern globetrotter and a minority figure under threat, offering essential context for understanding the cultural dynamics of the era.
