| Summary | "A History of Spanish Literature" by James Fitzmaurice-Kelly is a comprehensive historical account written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the evolution of Spanish literature, focusing primarily on Castilian contributions while providing insights on the influences of other languages and cultures. The book appears to aim at tracing the literary developments from their Roman roots through the various notable epochs of Spanish history, particularly the illustrious Silver Age and the subsequent influences leading to contemporary literature. The opening of the text sets the stage for a discussion of the origins and characteristics of Spanish literature, specifically the foundations laid during the twelfth century with the emergence of Castilian writings. Fitzmaurice-Kelly highlights the idea that Spanish literature is marked by originality, force, and humor, drawing comparisons with its French and English counterparts. He introduces significant figures and texts from the early medieval period, indicating how these early writings reflect a distinct Spanish idiosyncrasy and historical context. The preface alludes to a rich tapestry of literary influences, including those from Arabic and Hebrew cultures, while also setting the expectations for a detailed exploration of key authors and periods that shaped the literary landscape of Spain.
