About the book

A Shameful Revenge and Other Stories presents tales by the seventeenth-century Spanish writer María de Zayas y Sotomayor. Her fiction explores love, marriage, jealousy, betrayal, violence and the vulnerability of women within a strongly patriarchal society. Often dramatic and dark, the stories combine romance and intrigue with sharp criticism of male behaviour and social double standards in Golden Age Spain.
