Description
This session treats how the works of three fifteenth-century Spanish authors – Francesc Eiximinis, Juan de Mena, and Juan de Encina — are carried over into the early modern period. It also includes a general consideration of late medieval Spanish romances, most of which become the substance of the sixteenth-century printing explosion witnessed in Spain.
