Spanish and Portuguese Romances of Chivalry
Author: Henry Thomas
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136200355
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 345
Book Description
First Published in 2005. This book provides a comprehensive review of a remarkable popular literary movement which began in the Spanish Peninsula about the turn of the fifteenth century, spread over western Europe, including England, and having flourished and exercised a considerable influence for some time, died out so completely as to be almost forgotten. Many of the romances created by the movement are now extremely rare and so they are presented here in one volume for the benefit of scholars and general readers alike.

Book Description
Excerpt from Clariodus: A Metrical Romance: Printed From a Manuscript of the Sixteenth Century The romances of chivalry, either in verse or prose, constituted so large a portion of the literature of the middle ages, that, after innumerable revolutions in taste and fashion, they must still be regarded as objects of a liberal and well-directed curiosity. Of the literary recreations of our ancestors, they supply various and ample specimens; and they abound with illustrations of the manners, customs, and habits of thinking, which prevailed during the respective periods to which they belong. The early poets of romance confounded the manners of every preceding age with those of their own; Hector of Troy they represent in all respects as such a knight as Amadis of Gaul; and their want of skill in history and chronology thus becomes conducive to their fidelity in delineating the costumes and usages of their own times.

Chivalry and Exploration, 1298-1630
Author: Jennifer Robin Goodman
Publisher: Boydell & Brewer
ISBN: 9780851157009
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
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.
