Summary | "History of Spanish Literature, vol. 3 (of 3)" by George Ticknor is a scholarly and historical account written in the mid-19th century. This volume continues to explore the evolution of Spanish literature, examining various poetic forms and notable authors from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The book delves into genres such as satirical, elegiac, and pastoral poetry, revealing the cultural and societal influences that shaped these literary movements. The opening of the book establishes the context of its examination of Spanish literature, focusing first on satirical poetry and its practitioners. Ticknor discusses the shifts in tone and style from the earlier, more flamboyant satires to a more refined and philosophical approach adopted by poets like the Argensolas and Quevedo. He also touches on the decline of satirical poetry's popularity and its evolution into forms like didactic and elegiac poetry, illustrating how changing social and political climates affected literary expression. Through detailed analysis, the author aims to offer insights into the complexities and developments within Spanish literature during this vibrant period.
