The lectures on the Cid, Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Calderón, and Modern Spanish Novelists were delivered during the autumn and winter of 1907 at the University of Columbia; some of these were repeated at Cornell, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Pennsylvania, and Yale Universities; some at Bryn Mawr, Mount Holyoke, and Smith’s College (Northampton, Massachusetts); and the whole series was given this spring at University College, London. Owing to the limited amount of time available for each lecture, it became necessary to omit a few paragraphs here and there in delivery. These are now restored. With the exception of the chapter on the Archpriest of Hita (part of which has been recast), all the lectures are printed substantially as they were written. Occasional references have been added in the form of notes. In addresses of this kind some repetition of ‘you’ and ‘I’ is almost unavoidable. It has, however, been thought better to retain the conversational character of the lectures, and it is hoped that the use of the objectionable first personal pronoun does not degenerate into abuse.

MODERN SPANISH NOVELISTS 231 INDEX 252 CHAPTER I THE CID Just as a portrait discloses the artist’s opinion of his sitter, so the choice of a hero is an involuntary piece of self-revelation. As man fashions his idols in his own image, we are in a fair way to understand him, if we know what he admires: and, as it is with individual units, so is it with races. National heroes symbolise the ambitions, the foibles, the general temper and radical qualities of those who have set them up as exemplars. But there are two sides to every character, and Spain has two national heroes known all the world over: the practical Cid and the idealistic Don Quixote, one of them an historical figure, and the other the child of a great man’s fancy. Perhaps to the majority of mankind the offspring of Cervantes’s poetic imagination is more vividly present than the authentic warrior who headed many a desperate charge. It is the singular privilege of genius to substitute its own intense conceptions for the unromantic facts, and to create out of nothing beings that seem more vital than men of flesh and blood. Don Quixote has become a part of the visible universe, while most of us behold the Cid, not as he really was, but as Corneille portrayed him more than five centuries after his death. It may not be amiss to bring him back to earth by recalling the ascertainable incidents in his adventurous career. So marked are the differences between the Cid of history and the Cid of legend that, early in the nineteenth century his very existence was called in question by the sceptical Jesuit Doctrine Publishing Corporation Digital Book Page 2 CHAPTER I THE CID Masdeu, an historian who delighted in paradox. Masdeu’s doubts were reiterated by Samuel Dunham in his History of Spain and Portugal, and by Dunham’s translator, Antonio María de Alcalá Galiano, a writer of repute in his own day. Alcalá Galiano’s incredulity caused him some personal inconvenience, for—as his kinsman, the celebrated novelist Juan Valera, records—he was threatened with an action at law by a Spanish gentleman who piqued himself on his descent from the Cid, and was not disposed to see his alleged ancestor put aside as a fabulous creature like the Phœnix. These negations, more or less sophistical, are the follies of the learned, and they have their match in the assertions of another school that sought to reconcile divergent views by assuming the existence of two Cids, each with a wife called Jimena, and each with a war-horse called Babieca. This generous process of duplicating everybody and everything has not found favour. Cervantes expresses his view through the canon in Don Quixote:—‘That there was a Cid, as well as a Bernardo del Carpio, is beyond doubt; but that they did the deeds which they are said to have done, I take to be very doubtful.’ Few of us would care to be so affirmative as the canon with respect to Bernardo del Carpio, but he is perfectly right as regards the Cid. It is certain that the Cid existed in the flesh. He was the son of Diego Lainez, a soldier who fought in the Navarrese campaign. Pérez de Guzmán, in the Loores de los claros varones de España, says that the Cid was born at Río de Ovierna:— Este varón tan notable en Río de Ovierna[1] nasció. But the usual version is that the Cid was born at Bivar near Burgos, about the year 1040, and thence took his territorial designation. To contemporaries he was first of all known simply as Rodrigo (or Ruy) Díaz de Bivar—Roderick, son of James, of Bivar; and later, from his prowess in single combat, as the Campeador (the Champion or Challenger). What was probably his earliest feat of this kind, the overthrow of a Navarrese knight, is recorded in a copy of rudely rhymed Latin verses, apparently the most ancient of the poems which were to commemorate the Cid’s exploits:— Eia! laetando, populi catervae, Campi-doctoris hoc carmen audite! Magis qui eius freti estis ope, Nobiliori de genere ortus, Quod in Castella non est illo maius: Hispalis novit et Iberum litus Hoc fuit primum singulare bellum, Cum adolescens devicit Navarrum: Hinc Campi-doctor dictus est maiorum The epithet gained at this early period clung to him through life: it is applied to him even by his enemies. It is curious to find that the Arab chroniclers constantly speak of him as Al-kambeyator, but never as the Cid—a word which is usually said to derive from the Arabic Sidi (= My Lord).This circumstance makes it doubtful whether he was widely known as the Cid during his own lifetime. There is, indeed, a pleasing legend to the effect that the King of Castile, on hearing Ruy Díaz de Bivar addressed as Sidi by Arab prisoners of war, decreed that the successful soldier should henceforth be known by that name. But there is no evidence to support this story, and it is rather too picturesque to be plausible. It seems more likely that Ruy Díaz de Bivar was first addressed as Sidi by Arabs who served under him or by the Arab population of Valencia which he conquered towards the Doctrine Publishing Corporation Digital Book Page 3 CHAPTER I THE CID end of his career, that the phrase was taken up by his Christian troops, and that it was not generally current among Spaniards till after his death. That he soon afterwards became widely known as ‘the Cid’ or ‘my Cid’ is apparent from a line in the rhymed Latin chronicle of the siege of Almería, written some fifty years later:— Ipse Rodericus, mio Cid semper vocatus. But we need not discuss these minutiæ further. Let us record the fact that Ruy Díaz de Bivar is known as the Cid Campeador, and pass on to his historical achievements. At the age of twenty-five he was appointed alférez (standard-bearer) to Sancho II. of Castile, a predatory monarch who drove his brother Alfonso from León and his brother García from Galicia, and annexed their kingdoms. Both campaigns gave the Cid opportunities of distinction, and he became the most conspicuous personage in Castile after the murder of Sancho II. by Bellido Dolfos at Zamora in 1072:— ¡Rey don Sancho, rey don Sancho, no digas que no te aviso que de dentro de Zamora un alevoso ha salido! llámase Vellido Dolfos, hijo de Dolfos Vellido, cuatro traiciones ha hecho, y con esta serán cinco. Si gran traidor fue el padre, mayor traidor es el hijo.— Gritos dan en el real: ¡A don Sancho han mal herido: muerto le ha Vellido Dolfos, gran traición ha cometido! The Castilians were in a difficult position: the assassination of Sancho II. left them without a candidate for the vacant thrones of Castile and León.The Cid was not eligible; for, though of good family, he was not of royal—nor even of illustrious—descent.

    de Vere Society April 2020 newsletter 02Apro 0 A TIRADE ABOUT A JOUST IN TREBIZOND: HOW WAS EDWARD DE VERE INVOLVED IN THIS EXAMPLE OF COMMEDIA ERUDITA IN 1575? By Jan Scheffer This article provides background to the characters, places and political context of a presentation by the author [JS] at the DVS Autumn meeting in 2019, A Wedding Joust in Tribizond: Commedia Erudita and Sinister Politics in 1575, and an article (with the same title) by W. Ron Hess (assisted by JS, A. Colin Wright and Concetta Thibideaux), which is now published on the public page of the DVS website: https://deveresociety.co.uk/public/recommended-reading/dvs-articles-and- papers/ Hess’ presentation at the Shakespeare Oxford Fellowship Oakland Conference in 2018 may be seen on the SOF YouTube channel. The Tirata dell Giostro (tirade about a joust) is a six-page section of Andrea Petrucci’s book Dell’ Arte rappresentativa, premeditata ed all’ improviso. The key points of the article of Hess et al. are: i) Tirata dell Giostro includes a major character, Elmond Milord of Oxford; ii) Tirata is an example of Commedia Erudita (not dell’arte, which came later), which was written by noted authors and poets and contained a hidden subtext; iii) this particular Tirata referred to an actual event: a challenge by Oxford to the world to engage in a ‘joust’ in 1575; iv) the hidden subtexts are reflected by those frequently used later by Oxford in the works of Shakespeare. Furthermore, if Oxford was often travelling incognito and acting as a spy it is hardly surprising that evidence is hard to find after 400 years.

  • Repatriating Romance: Politics of Textual Transmission in Early Modern France
    Repatriating Romance: Politics of Textual Transmission in Early Modern France By Linda Danielle Louie A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Romance Languages and Literatures and the Designated Emphasis in Renaissance and Early Modern Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Timothy Hampton, Chair Professor Mairi McLaughlin Professor Victoria Kahn Fall 2017 Repatriating Romance: Politics of Textual Transmission in Early Modern France © 2018 by Linda Danielle Louie Abstract Repatriating Romance: Politics of Textual Transmission in Early Modern France by Linda Danielle Louie Doctor of Philosophy in Romance Languages and Literatures Designated Emphasis in Renaissance and Early Modern Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Timothy Hampton, Chair This dissertation reveals the central role that transcultural literary exchange plays in the imagining of a continuous French literary history. The traditional narrative of French literary history describes the vernacular canon as built on the imitation of the ancients. However, this dissertation demonstrates that Early Modern French canon formation also depends, to a startling extent, on claims of inter-vernacular literary theft. Throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, a central preoccupation of French authors, translators, and literary theorists was the repatriation of the romance genre. Romance was portrayed as a cornerstone of French literary patrimony that Italian and Spanish authors had stolen. The repatriation of individual romance texts entailed a skillful co-opting of the language of humanist philology, alongside practices of translation and continuation usually associated with the medieval period. By looking at romance translation as part of a project of national canon formation, this dissertation sheds new light on the role that chivalric romance plays in national and international politics.

The most illustrious is the geste of the kings of France; and the next, it is right for me to say, was the geste of white-beardedPROOF Doon de Mayence. To this lineage, which was full of disloyalty, belonged Ganelon, who, by his duplic- ity, plunged France into great distress. The thirdgeste , remarkably worthy, was of the fierce Garin de Monglane.

    L'héroïsme chevaleresque dans le Roland Amoureux de Boiardo Couverture : Illustration extraite de la Nouvelle traduction de Roland l'Amou- reux par LESAGE, Paris, 1717 (cliché Bibliothèque Municipale de Lyon) INSTITUT D'ÉTUDES DE LA RENAISSANCE ET DE L'AGE CLASSIQUE Denise ALEXANDRE-GRAS L'héroïsme chevaleresque dans le - Roland Amoureux de Boiardo Publications de l'Université de Saint-Etienne 0 Institut d'études de la Renaissance et de l'Age Classique, 1988 34, rue Francis-Baulier — 42100 Saint-Etienne ISBN 2-86724-032-8 INTRODUCTION Matteo Maria Boiardo est un écrivain dont l'œuvre et la personnalité, complexes et contradictoires, demeurent parmi les plus déroutantes qui soient. Il n'est en effet pas possible de réduire toute son activité à la seule composition du «poème» 1, d'ignorer notamment ses œuvres latines et d'imaginer qu'il ait oublié sa culture humaniste durant les quinze dernières années de sa vie. Or, le contraste est évident entre ses œuvres mineures de goût humaniste (les œuvres latines, les Eglogues en italien , le Timon inspiré de Lucien) et son poème cheva- leresque modelé sur des œuvres populaires que les humanistes méprisaient volontiers. Son Canzoniere, dont le titre classicisant, Amorum libri, est signifi- catif, combine certes diverses sources, mais il apparaît précisément comme une tentative de synthèse raffinée dans laquelle la poésie latine et les thèmes néo- platoniciens viennent enrichir le legs de la poésie lyrique médiévale et du pé- trarquisme, ce qui semble fort éloigné de l'esprit général du poème, si éloigné même que Pier Vincenzo Mengaldo a pu parler d'un tel hiatus entre les deux œuvres, qu'on n'en saurait trouver d'équivalent dans l'histoire italienne toute entière 2.

    Les Quatre fils Aymon - Les légendes du Cercle Médiéval http://www.lecerclemedieval.be/legendes/Les_Quatre_fils_Aymon.html Les légendes d'Ourthe-Amblève - Frédéric Kiesel Les Quatre fils Aymon Véritablement, nous trouvons, dans les faits du roi Charlemagne, qu'une fois, à la fête de Pentecôte, ledit Charlemagne tint une moult grande et solennelle cour à Paris, après qu’ 'il fut revenu des provinces de Lombardie où il avait eu une moult grande et merveilleuse bataille à rencontre des Sarrasins et mécréants, dont le chef était nommé Guitelin le Sesne, que le roi Charlemagne avait déconfit et vaincu. Les douze pairs de France étaient venus à cette Pentecôte, ainsi que plusieurs princes allemands, anglais, normands, poitevins, ardennais, lombards, berruyers. Parmi les autres ducs et princes était le beau et vaillant duc Aymon de Dordonne et avec lui ses quatre fils: Renaud, Allard, Guichard et Richard qui, à merveille, étaient beaux, sages, grands, puissants et vaillants - surtout Renaud, le plus bel homme qui se trouvât alors au monde, car il mesurait seize pieds au moins. Ainsi commence l'histoire de ces Quatre fils Aymon, dont l'image épique est encore bien vivante dans le souvenir des Ardennais. En ce jour de Pentecôte, Charlemagne était courroucé. Malgré son ordre, le duc Beuves d'Aigrement, frère du duc Aymon de Dordonne, ne s'était pas joint à l'armée qui avait combattu les Sarrasins. Le roi décida de lui envoyer son fils Lohier avec une suite de chevaliers, pour lui faire des remontrances et lui commander de se tenir prêt à le servir, l'année suivante, avec tous ses hommes d'armes.

EDINBURGH OLIVER AND BOYD LONDON: SIMPKIN, MARSHALL, HAMILTON, KENT & CO., LIMITED 1900 _^ PREFACE The following pages are meant to exhibit the different national renderings of a variety of poetry that perhaps more than any other has given status to the literature possessing a great specimen of it, and supremacy to the poet of that specimen. I have restricted my formal examination of poems to those of the post - Virgilian period. So much excellent criticism has been made on Homer and Virgil that it seemed presumption on my part, as well as a needless increase of the bulk of the book, to adventure a full statement of the epical position of these two princely poets. It is clear, however, that no history of epic poetry could be called satisfactory that did not contain some reference to these poets—that did not, indeed, to a definite if limited extent, take into account and appraise their work. I have therefore in the Introduction devoted some pages to a consideration of certain aspects of the epical quality of their respective poems.
