Synopsis

This book examines the origins of the pastoral novel in Spain, focusing on the work of Francisco de Sa de Miranda, Bernardim Ribeiro, and Jorge de Montemayor. The author traces the development of the genre from its roots in the ancient world, through its medieval antecedents, to its culmination in the works of these three Portuguese and Spanish writers. The book explores the ways in which these authors adapted and transformed the conventions of the pastoral novel to reflect the social and cultural realities of their time. It also examines the complex relationship between the pastoral novel and other literary genres, such as the romance and the epic. Ultimately, the book argues that the pastoral novel played a significant role in the development of Spanish literature, and that it continues to offer valuable insights into the human condition.
