The thirteen articles in this book examine the concept of the “threshold” in the literature and iconography of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Spain, understood in its material and architectural dimensions and considered in its dual spatial and temporal valence. They show that the threshold, open to the domestic or private space, gives the full measure of its dramatic potentiality and its symbolic profitability not only in plots, in novels and in theatre, but also in poetic discourse since Antiquity. In the same way, in iconography, the open door becomes a vanishing point and carries perspective towards an out of field suggested by the painter.
