About This Item
London: The Macmillan Company for the Columbia University Press, 1899. Hardcover Reprint? . Black Boards. Very Good/No Jacket. 7 5/16" Tall. The boards, paper weight, and deckled leading text edge suggests that the treatise is a 1930's reprint of the Macmillan original but, if so, there is no evident indication of publisher or date published. The author has scant patience with the argument that Spanish literature, despite its popularity, was a major influence on Elizabethan and prior English literature -- "Parallelism with the Spanish is not in itself evidence of connection with it" -- but admits that comparative studies of the poetry of the two countries had not been done. The Chapter headings are: The Alliance of England and Spain; Spanish Books in English Marts; The Courtiers of King Henry VIII; From Mary to Elizabeth; The Historians of the Indies; Mysticism and Protestantism; Translators of Elizabeth's Court; Sidney and Oxford: Patrons of Learning; Antiquarians and Lexicographers; and The Nature of the Influence of Spain. 438 (+ x) pages, with 3 Bibliographies, and Biographical Index. Boards are rubbed at backstrip, otherwise clean and sound; bookplate of prior owner on front pastedown; erasures evident on front endpaper; text is strong and clean (though coloring to mid-margin), excepting page 1, which has a mended margin tear, and pages 1-4, which have a shallow partial crease.
