Summary "The Later Renaissance" by David Hannay is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book surveys the literary developments in Spain during the later Renaissance period, focusing particularly on the characteristics of Spanish literature, its influences, and its divisions, including its unique blend of indigenous and imitative poetry. Through its exploration of significant literary figures and movements, it seeks to demonstrate how this national literature embodied the complexities of Spanish cultural identity. The opening of the book establishes a framework for understanding Spanish literature within the context of the Renaissance. It emphasizes the unity of Spanish literature during the Golden Age, drawing attention to the contributions from the fifteenth century and the various influences that shaped its evolution. Hannay notes the significant interplay between native and foreign elements, particularly the influence of Italian literature, while emphasizing how Spanish writers expressed their distinct national character through poetry, prose, and drama. The text sets the stage for detailed examinations of specific genres and authors, including discussions on the learned poets and the richness of Spanish verse.
