The Death of Don Quixote and the Birth of Modernity
The article begins by reviewing the critical debate about Don Quixote and modernity. It then studies in detail the incidents of the hare and the cricket cage that occur towards the end of Part II, shortly before Don Quixote’s death. It concludes that if these are interpreted in the light of their literary antecedents they acquire a symbolic value that recalls the providential world of the novels of chivalry. In the novel of Cervantes, however, th…
Sacred Images and Their Contexts
These two distinct but complimentary papers analyse canvases by El Greco (1541–1614) and Daniel Seghers (1590–1661) that depict in different ways religious subject matter. Neither painter was born in Spain, and both received their artistic training outside it, but their religious works were collected and copied avidly in Castile, and became known and influential throughout the Catholic Monarchy and beyond. The aim of the papers is to explore the …
Latin and Vernacular in the Cántico espiritual of St John of the Cross
This article addresses three questions relating to St John of the Cross’ Cántico espiritual, a sacred pastoral, rooted in the Bible and inspired by the Song of Songs. Which text (or texts) of the Vulgate did he know? Was he familiar with Latin translations of the Song based on the Greek of the Septuagint? And was he familiar with recent renderings of the Hebrew text? It demonstrates, first, that St John was familiar with sixteenth-century edition…
The agudeza of Góngora in Stanza XI of the Polifemo
The interpretation of Stanza XI of the Polifemo has perplexed commentators since the seventeenth century. Góngora's contemporaries urged him to revise it, and modern critics have deplored its obscurity. For Dámaso Alonso it was ‘un fracaso’. The present article considers the nature of the problem, and the solutions to it that have been proposed, including the hypothesis of Zdislas Milner. It then advances tentatively a reading of the text that co…
Early Printed Books in Spain and the Exercicios of Ignatius Loyola
Our knowledge of the vernacular works of devotion popular in Spain during the first age of printing (c.1471-1520) has been extended in recent years by the appearance of reliable catalogues of their early editions and by the analysis of their authorship, contents and printing history, but questions remain about their reception, including the kinds of piety they encouraged, the habits of reading they instilled, and the extent to which they paved th…

A. A. Parker and the Polifemo
The study of Gongora's Fabula de Polifemo y Galatea which Parker published in 1977 was many years in the making.1 He himself traced its origins to a meeting in 1963 with the Scottish writer Gilbert
Adrien Gambart's Emblem Book (1664)
Saint Ignatius Loyola and Castles in Palestine
The meditation on the Kingdom in the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius Loyola is a text of great interest to students of Jesuit spirituality, and of its influence on devotional poetry, because of its key position in the Exercises themselves and because of its influence in the evolution of the Society of Jesus.' One of the enigmas involved in its interpretation concerns the composition of place. In the original Spanish version the retreatant i…
