Synopsis
Excerpt from Shakespeare and Spain
The extent of an author's acquaintance with the language of a foreign country is obviously an important factor in considering the possible influences exercised upon him by that country's literature. None of the known facts of Shakespeare's life would lead us to suppose that he had natural opportunities of acquiring Spanish, as he certainly had of acquiring French. We must turn for information to the evidence of his literary work.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intriguing relationship between William Shakespeare and Spain, exploring the extent of Spanish influence on the Bard's works. The author meticulously examines historical context, linguistic evidence, and literary parallels to assess the depth of this connection. Set against the backdrop of Elizabethan England's complex relationship with Spain, the book investigates Shakespeare's potential exposure to Spanish language and culture. It dissects his plays for traces of Spanish phrases, references to Spanish customs, and allusions to historical Spanish figures. The analysis extends to potential literary borrowings, considering parallels in plot, character, and theme between Shakespeare's works and Spanish literature, including chivalric romances and pastoral tales. The book challenges the notion of Shakespeare as solely an English phenomenon, revealing the intricate web of cultural exchange that shaped his creative genius. It raises thought-provoking questions about the nature of literary influence and the role of cross-cultural interactions in shaping artistic expression. Ultimately, this book illuminates the subtle yet significant ways in which Spain left its mark on Shakespeare's imagination, enriching our understanding of his works and their place in the broader tapestry of European literature.
