Henrietta Maria is the most reviled consort to have worn the crown of Britain's Three Kingdoms. Condemned as that 'Popish brat of France', a 'notorious whore' and traitor, she remains in popular memory the wife who wore the breeches and turned her husband Catholic—so causing a civil war—and a cruel and bigoted mother.

María Zambrano, allieva di José Ortega y Gasset e di Xavier Zubiri all'Universidad Central di Madrid, fu esiliata dopo la guerra civile e viaggiò, peregrinando e nascondendosi, dal Messico a Cuba, da Roma alla Svizzera. Con uno sguardo profondo e delicato, Luigina Mortari compone il ritratto di una vita in fuga e di un pensiero libero: "La filosofia di Zambrano spazia sui paesaggi dell'anima, apre all'immensità del cosmo, addolcisce il discorso con parole di poesia, e per queste sue qualità può sembrare una filosofia dell'intimo.

Wissen war in früheren Zeiten ein Privileg von wenigen, vor allem einfache Leute hatten keinen Zugang dazu. Die Situation änderte sich grundlegend mit der Erfindung des Buchdrucks durch Gutenberg im 15. Jahrhundert. Bücher lassen sich in großen Stückzahlen vervielfältigen und unter die Leute bringen. Vor allem Luther, so Wolf, macht sich die Möglichkeiten der Verbreitung zunutze: Jeder Dritte hat eine gedruckte Lutherschrift gelesen. Die katholische Kirche kann die Flut von Schriften nicht eindämmen, aber sie möchte verhindern, dass unliebsame Bücher gelesen werden.
