This book explores the origins of the Spanish literary tradition from its roots in the medieval epic tradition through the genre's preoccupation with love and chivalry, and its ultimate decline as a form. The author argues that the rise of the Spanish epic, with its focus on the exploits of legendary heroes, was driven by the need to establish a national identity in the wake of the Reconquista. This led to the development of the chivalric romance, which idealized the values of courtly love and honor. However, the genre's popularity waned as Spain became increasingly embroiled in religious and political conflict, and the epic tradition lost its relevance to the changing social and cultural landscape. Ultimately, the author concludes that the decline of the Spanish epic was a reflection of the broader decline of the chivalric ideal in the face of the realities of the modern world. This book provides a valuable contribution to the study of Spanish literature and its historical context, shedding light on the evolution of a genre that played a defining role in shaping the cultural identity of Spain.
