Topic Summary: Mainly, the Black Legend refers to a historiographical tendency that involved anti-catholic and anti-Spanish propaganda. In the 16th century, the Black Legend involved exaggerated facts and fabrication of facts on people, nations, and institutions, thereby resulting in uniquely inhuman impacts. During this period, the women contributed actively in the reconstruction of the Black Legend in British Literature. The role of women involved the elimination of the propaganda using their art, thereby resulting in white supremacy. Besides, women used their art to bring intellectual contribution in the British literature by erasing ethical differences.
Level Three question: What role do the portrayal of women play in the reconstruction of the Black Legend in the 16th century British Literature?
