Description

This scholarly work examines Queen Esther as an idealised figure in Iberia and a powerful Jewish heroine for conversos throughout the Sephardic Diaspora in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The biblical Esther, who married the King of Persia and saved her people, held contested meanings across early modern European cultures, functioning simultaneously as a symbol of both conformity and resistance. Her dual status as queen and minority figure under threat made her profoundly compelling to changing Iberian and broader European communities, particularly because her hybridity rendered her relatable across religious and cultural boundaries. Published by Palgrave Macmillan, this text offers fresh perspectives on how diasporic Jewish communities and conversos engaged with biblical narratives to negotiate identity, survival, and belonging during a transformative historical period marked by displacement, religious conversion, and cultural adaptation.

Key Features
