Series: Toronto Iberic

This collection of essays analyses the publication and reception history of sixteenth-century Iberian books of chivalry in English translation. A comprehensive introduction explains the subject, its importance for the study of early modern fiction writing in general, and the state of Anglo-Spanish literary relations at the time. Contributors consider the impact of Iberian chivalric writing on other contemporary genres

such as native English romance, letter-writing, and chronicle

and explore the influence of translations in English prose fiction from the 1590s to the mid-seventeenth century.

The volume delves into the role of predominant translator Anthony Munday in the literary book market, approaching some of his most representative translations

Amadis, Palmendos, Primaleon of Greece, and Palmerin of England

and examining the contribution of these works to early modern cultural debates on sexuality, marriage, female individualism, colonialism, and religious controversy.

Reviews for Iberian Chivalric Romance: Translations and Cultural Transmission in Early Modern England

""The book offers an insightful approach to the different ways in which Iberian chivalric romances permeated English literature and culture for over a century and vindicates the relevance of these translations, especially those by Munday, to the study of English Renaissance literature."" - David Arbesú, University of South Florida (Bulletin of Spanish Studies)
