Explore the world of medieval ideas told through vivid, concrete stories. This scholarly volume traces the development of Castilian allegory from its early vernacular roots through the fifteenth century, charting how abstract ideas become person, place, and action on the page. Readers will see how Spanish poets molded allegory from Latin precedents and how French and Italian influences shaped a distinctive medieval voice.
Structured for clarity, the book examines methods, types, and the evolving use of allegory in works from philosophy to romance. It situates a rich tradition within its historical arc, showing how allegorical writing reflected culture, religion, and courtly life. While deeply researched, the prose remains accessible to readers interested in literary history and the medieval imagination.
Ideal for students and general readers seeking a solid, readable introduction to medieval Spanish allegory and its broader literary context.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the origins and evolution of medieval Spanish allegory, from its first appearance in the 13th century until its full development in the 15th century. The author argues that allegory in Spain was a sustained literary tradition, with roots in earlier Latin literature of the Iberian Peninsula. During the 15th century, the influence of French models modified the Spanish tradition, but did not alter its fundamental character. Through an analysis of representative texts, this book examines the types and methods of Spanish allegory, including panegyrics, erotic hells, visions, debates, and other allegorical machinery. The author demonstrates that the ideas expressed in the allegory of the period derive from the interaction of native Spanish elements with French and Italian influences. This book will be welcomed by scholars interested in medieval Spanish literature, the history of allegory, and comparative literature.
