 Writers on the Market: Consuming Literature in Early Seventeenth-Century Spain

Through a comparative analysis of the playwright Lope de Vega and the novelists Mateo Alemán and Miguel de Cervantes, the author explores the new poetic principles, both implicitly and explicitly, that accompany the rise of this commercialized literature.
The book argues that the logic of classical economic theory becomes internalized within the poetic structure of these two genres.

 The Italian Origins of the Episode of Don Quijote and Maritornes, by Donald McGrady
Whereas it is relatively easy to identify the influence of Italian storytellers upon a Mateo Alemán or a Lope de Vega, for example, it is quite a different matter to establish such influence in the case of Cervantes.
Marcelino Menéndez y Pelayo correctly observed that “De todos los novelistas italianos Mateo Bandello fue el más leído y estimado por los españoles después de Boccaccio y el que mayor número de argumentos proporcionó a nuestros dramáticos” (Orígenes de la novela, 4 vols.
To cite a single example, Lope is known to have taken parts of some 23 plays from Bandello, but only nine from Boccaccio; see my “Lope de Vega's El mejor alcalde, el rey: Its Italian Novella Sources and Its influence upon Manzoni's I promessi sposi,” MLR, 80 (1985), 610.

Using the term república, the latter intended to describe and economic sphere of social life under the constrictions of both the monarchy and the privileges of the seigniorial system.
