History of Spanish Literature, vol. 2 (of 3) by George Ticknor
"History of Spanish Literature, vol. 2 (of 3)" by George Ticknor is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This volume delves into the evolution of Spanish literature during a critical period, specifically from the early 16th century to the late 17th century, focusing on the influences of the church, the inquisition, and the emerging national drama. Ticknor explores various playwrights, the impact of societal challenges, and the transition from strictlyreligious plays to secular and popular dramatic works. At the start of this volume, Ticknor introduces the context of Spanish theater during the time of Charles the Fifth, addressing challenges posed by the Church and the Inquisition. He discusses early forms of drama, including religious mysteries, and the foundational figure of Lope de Rueda, who is credited with creating the popular drama in Spain. The opening portion emphasizes the conflict between ecclesiastical restrictions and the public's desire for more varied theatrical entertainment, setting the stage for the evolution of Spanish literature as it witnesses a blend of tradition and new developments in dramatic expression.
