History of Spanish Literature, vol. 2 (of 3)
George Ticknor, a Harvard professor and one of the first Americans to study Spanish culture in depth, published his History of Spanish Literature in 1849. This second volume treats the period of Spain's golden age. It covers the rise of the popular theater from Lope de Rueda, the poetry of Luis de León, the life and work of Cervantes, the immense output of Lope de Vega, Quevedo, the drama of Tirso de Molina and Calderón and the theater after them, before turning to historical narrative poems and lyric poetry. Ticknor combines biography, summary and judgment with wide reading in the original texts, and his history remained a standard work in English for generations. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
