The corpus of literary works shaped by the Renaissance and the
Baroque that appeared in Spain during the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries had a transforming effect on writing throughout Europe
and left a rich legacy that scholars continue to explore. For four
decades after the Spanish Civil War the study of this literature
flourished in Great Britain and Ireland, where many of the leading
scholars in the field were based. Though this particular Golden Age
was followed by a decline for many years, there have recently been
signs of a significant revival. The present book seeks to showcase
the latest research of established and younger colleagues from
Great Britain and Ireland on the Spanish Golden Age. It falls into
four sections, in each of which works by particular authors are
examined in detail: prose (Miguel de Cervantes, Francisco de
Quevedo, Baltasar Gracian), poetry (The Count of Salinas, Luis de
Gongora, Pedro Soto de Rojas), drama (Cervantes, Calderon, Lope de
Vega), and colonial writing (Bernardo Balbuena, Hernando Dominguez
Camargo, Alonso de Ercilla). There are essays also on more general
themes (the motif of poetry as manna; rehearsals on the Golden Age
stage; proposals put to viceroys on governing Spanish Naples). The
essays, taken together, offer a representative sample of current
scholarship in England, Scotland, and Ireland."
