The literature of medieval knighthood is shown to have influenced exploration narratives from Marco Polo to Captain John Smith. Explorers from Marco Polo to Captain John Smith viewed their travels and discoveries in the light of attitudes they absorbed from the literature of medieval knighthood. Their own accounts, and contemporary narratives [reinforced by the interest of early printers], reveal this interplay, but historians of exploration on the one hand, and of chivalry on the other, have largely ignored this cultural connection. Jennifer Goodman convincingly develops the ideaof the chivalric romance as an imaginative literature of travel; she traces the publication of medieval chivalric texts alongside exploration narratives throughout the later middle ages and renaissance, and reveals parallel themesand preoccupations. She illustrates this with the histories of a sequence of explorers and their links with chivalry, from Marco Polo to Captain John Smith, and including Gadifer de la Salle and his expedition to the Canary Islands, Prince Henry the Navigator, Cortés, Hakluyt, and Sir Walter Raleigh. JENNIFER GOODMAN teaches at Texas A & M University.

"This collection of original essays examines the publication and reception history of sixteenth-century Iberian books of chivalry in English translation and explores the impact of that literary corpus on Elizabethan culture as well as its connections with other contemporary genres such as native English fiction, chronicle, and epistolary writing. The essays focus mainly on Anthony Munday's work as the leading translator as well as the two main Spanish sixteenth-century cycles-Le., Amadis and Palmerin-from a variety of critical approaches, including cultural studies, book history and reception, material history, translation, post-colonial criticism, and early modern Qender studies."--

Book Synopsis Masterpieces of the Spanish Golden Age by : Ángel Flores

Chivalric romances were long fictional epics, typically in prose, which depicted the adventures of chivalrous knights as they traveled across the globe defeating monsters, heretics, and other evil agents and committed heroic feats on behalf of their monarchs. Set during the era of the medieval Crusades, chivalric romances greatly appealed to early modern Europe in the midst of unprecedented global exploration and transatlantic trade. The Introduction tracks the rise of romance from its roots in the European Crusades to its Renaissance in Golden Age Spain, which produced the most popular chivalric chronicles of the sixteenth-century. In Chapter 1 I argue that Spain’s role in reviving romance on the continent also caused the genre to decline in status in England. English critics deliberately feminized romance—presenting false evidence of their popularity with female readers—in an effort to cast the genre as immoral and inferior. The common subject of moralist criticism, Spanish romances nonetheless earned widespread popularity with both male and female readers and among laboring and privileged classes alike. Chapter 2 argues that appropriation from Spanish chivalric literature could be used to wage ideological war with Spain. This phenomenon most notably occurs in Edmund Spenser’s Faerie Queene (1590; 1595). Arcalaus, the evil sorcerer from Amadis de Gaula (1508), was the inspiration for Spenser’s Archimago, a representative of Philip II of Spain, specifically, and of Spanish falsehood more generally. Spenser’s anti-Spanish allegory also extends across Book I through Archimago’s various deceptions and contests with Redcrosse, the English Everyman who represents Saint George, patron saint of England. Prior to The Faerie Queene, however, Saint George did not appear as a decidedly English hero. Saint George was patron to various parts of Habsburg Europe, including Aragon and Cataluña in Spain. I argue that Spenser defensively Anglicizes Saint George—as a form of translatio imperii—in order to revive England’s own tradition of chivalric romance and compete with the Spanish cycles arriving in England. Elizabethan Hispanophobia partly derived from English propaganda that demonized the Spanish as heretical, bastardly and cruel, citing as evidence contemporary reports of the violence of Iberian conquistadors colonizing the New World. However, English depictions of Spain were neither uniformly antagonistic nor entirely approving. As Chapter 3 illustrates, prominent playwright, Ben Jonson, both praises Spanish culture and repeats stereotypical prejudices against the Spanish. Jonson’s representation of Spain was tempered by his comingled distaste for traditional Spanish romances, which associated with the failure of humanist ideals, and his great admiration for Baroque works, namely Don Quijote de la Mancha (1605) and Guzman de Alfarache (1599). Chapter 4 describes the softening of English vitriol against Spain through William Shakespeare’s Mediterranean romance, The Tempest (1611). Although scholars have traditionally argued that The Tempest lacks a direct source for the plot, I argue that the plot actually originates from Antonio de Eslava’s Noches de invierno (Winter Nights; 1609). I show that Shakespeare’s adaptation urges cooperation with Spain in order to advance England’s transatlantic aspirations. In adaptation, therefore, Shakespeare’s version presents a nuanced commentary on transatlantic colonization.

This is a book about readers: readers reading, and readers writing. They are readers of all ages and from all ages: young and old, male and female, from Europe and the Americas. The book they are reading is the Spanish chivalric romance Amad�s de Gaula, known in English as Amadis de Gaule. Famous throughout the sixteenth century as the pinnacle of its fictional genre, the cultural functions of Amadis were further elaborated by the publication of Cervantes's Don Quixote in 1605, in which Amadis features as Quixote's favourite book. Amadis thereby becomes, as the philosopher Ortega y Gasset terms it, 'enclosed' within the modern novel and part of the imaginative landscape of British reader-authors such Mary Shelley, Smollett, Keats, Southey, Scott, and Thackeray. Amadis in English ranges from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries, demonstrating through this 'biography' of a book the deep cultural, intellectual, and political connections of English, French, and Spanish literature across five centuries. Simultaneously an ambitious work of transnational literary history and a new intervention in the history of reading, this study argues that romance is historically located, culturally responsive, and uniquely flexible in the re-creative possibilities it offers readers. By revealing this hitherto unexamined reading experience connecting readers of all backgrounds, Amadis in English also offers many new insights into the politicisation of literary history; the construction and misconstruction of literary relations between England, France, and Spain; the practice and pleasures of reading fiction; and the enduring power of imagination.

In the work he considered his masterpiece, Persiles and Sigismunda, Cervantes finally explores the reality of woman--an abstraction largely idealized in his earlier writing. Traditional critics have perpetuated this disembodied ideal woman: "Every Man," claimed the translators of the 1706 Don Quixote, has "some darling Dulcinea of his Thoughts." As Diana de Armas Wilson shows, however, Cervantes himself envisioned the radical embodiment of "Dulcinea" in the later Persiles, a pan-European Renaissance allegory. Wilson illuminates Cervantes's strategic use of the ancient genre of Greek romance to contest various chivalric fictions about women, love, and marriage--fictions collapsing under the constraints of an emerging bourgeois culture. Taking as her subject Cervantes's erotic imperative--to leave behind "barbaric" notions of love in quest of a new conceptual space--Wilson demonstrates how the heroes of the Persiles, unlike Don Quixote, learn to cross the borders of difference. Their journey toward marriage is illustrated by thirteen inset "exemplary novels," perhaps the most exploratory of Cervantes's writings. Allegories of Love not only examines the fundamental importance of sexual and cultural difference in Cervantes's last romance, but also reveals the historical conditions of representation itself during the late Renaissance. Originally published in 1991. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
