AB Many studies have targeted the situation of women during the early modern period. This dissertation hopes to contribute a new perspective on gender dynamics in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries by exploring a singular bond between England and Spain. This study analyses the perceptions of English and Spanish Catholics on Shakespeare’s female characters at the Royal English College of St Alban in Valladolid. English and Spanish Catholics collaborated at the college to train English seminarians for priesthood. The works at the college’s library were censored and annotated with this aim in mind. This study employs four scrutinised works as primary sources, to extract the Catholic gaze on women. The result is a new multicultural vision, under a Catholic lens, that adds up to the social and moral constraints imposed on early modern women.
