Corbacho is a fifteenth century Castilian text revolving around the criticism and denunciation of so-called worldly love. Using concepts from gender history, the purpose of this article is to analyse Corbacho, written by Alfonso Martínez de Toledo in Castile around 1438. Thus, after briefly outlining the context and authorship of the Corbacho, the very concept of gender and its relationship to the discourse of the text are examined. The article then analyses the construction of hegemonic and subordinate masculinities, before finally turning to the configuration of several femininities.
