About This Book

De tekst geeft een overzicht van de Spaanse romantische literatuur, waarbij bronnen en vormen worden behandeld, van cantares de gesta en het Poema del Cid tot ridderromans als Amadis de Gaula en de Palmerin-cycli. Hij analyseert regionale varianten, waaronder Catalaanse stukken, Moorse beïnvloede vertellingen en middeleeuwse balladen, en bevat vertalingen van representatieve romances en balladen. De auteur bespreekt oorsprongsvraagstukken, de wisselwerking tussen historische gebeurtenissen en folkloristische elementen en debatten over Moorse invloed op de romanceros. Latere hoofdstukken verzamelen verhalen over hekserij en toverij, magische motieven en humoristische volksromances, ondersteund door aantekeningen over taal, structuur en muzikaal-poëtische context.
