Summary "History of Spanish and Portuguese Literature (Vol 1 of 2)" by Friedrich Bouterwek is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This work provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution, key figures, and essential works in the literatures of Spain and Portugal from their origins to the early modern period. The author aims to fill a noted gap in English literature regarding scholarly discussions on the subject, presenting a rich tapestry of poetic and prose forms that have emerged over the centuries. The opening of the volume introduces the significance of the literature of the Iberian Peninsula, launching into a detailed examination of its origins during the Middle Ages. Bouterwek discusses the linguistic evolution from Arabic influences during the Moorish occupation to the emergence of distinct romance languages in the region. The text explores early poetic forms, including the role of notable historical figures such as Alfonso X and highlights significant works like "El Poema del Cid." Throughout the introduction, themes of national identity, cultural exchange, and the intertwining of history and literature are established, setting the stage for a more detailed exploration of Spanish and Portuguese literary traditions in subsequent chapters.
