KOCH, Jezabel. Nursing fate: configurations of childhood in the Libro de Alexandre. Estud. hist. Esp. [online]. 2016, vol.18, n.1, pp.01-01. ISSN 2469-0961.

The present work deals with the double challenge of considering childhood as a concept when apprehending it from a theoretical point of view and with its own historicity as a starting point, that is, taking into account a particular space and period of time. That being said, with Spanish 13th century as historical/space setting, and the notion of childhood -intimately linked to scarcity- that emerges from encyclopedia-like texts from that time, we will focus our analysis in the initial scenes of the Libro de Alexandre -as per the critics, the book which gave birth to the Castilian clerical poetry, and for that reason extremely meaningful in relation to the heroism in its verses- which briefly unfolds the first childhood of the Macedonian hero.
