	The Conquest of Granada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Conquest of Granada was a play written by John Dryden and acted in 1670.
		Inasmuch as the British Restoration stage was already under attack for the licentiousness of its comedies and the example set by its lewd actresses, Dryden was attempting to turn the tide to admirable subjects.
		The exceptional tangle of the plot, and especially the bombast of the speeches Almanzor makes, made The Conquest of Granada the play satirized by The Rehearsal, written by George Villiers, 2nd Duke of Buckingham.

	§16. "The Conquest of Granada". IV. Irving. Vol. 15. Colonial and Revolutionary Literature; Early National ...
		In the Conquest of Granada, the narrative is given in a humorous form, but it respresents the result of very thorough historic research.
		By the device of presenting the record through the personality of the mythical priestly chronicler, Fray Agapida, blindly devoted to the cause of the Church, Irving is able to emphasize less invidiously than if the statements were made direct, the bitterness, the barbarism, and the prejudices of the so-called Christinanity of the Spaniards.
		Granada was Irving’s favourite production, and he found himself frankly disappointed that (possible on the ground of the humorous form given to the narrative) the book failed to secure full acceptance as history and was not considered by the author’s admirers to take rank with his more popular work.

		Before the conquest of Granada paved the way for the discovery of a new world, and with it the meeting of American and European cultures, the city had already been Iberian, Roman and later Jewish and Islamic.
		Capital of the former Nazari Kingdom, Granada was the last city on the Iberian Peninsula to be re-conquered from the Muslims in 1492, an event which was to mark the formation of Spain.
		With 470 years of tradition, the University of Granada has been an exceptional witness to history, as its influence in the city's social and cultural environment grew until it was to become, over a period of almost five centuries, an intellectual and cultural nucleus in Southern Spain.

		CHRONICLE OF THE CONQUEST OF GRANADA by Washington Irving from the mss.
		Granada had risen to splendor on the ruin of other Moslem kingdoms, but in so doing had become the sole object of Christian hostility, and had to maintain its very existence by the sword.
		Many aged men, who had taken refuge in Granada from other Moorish dominions which had fallen into the power of the Christians, now groaned in despair at the thoughts that war was to follow them into this last retreat, to lay waste this pleasant land, and to bring trouble and sorrow upon their declining years.

	§10. Dryden and the Heroic Play: "The Conquest of Granada". I. Dryden. Vol. 8. The Age of Dryden. The Cambridge ...
		Dryden, as already noted, had not brought out more than two plays, in the second of which he had made occasional use of the rimed five foot couplet, when he was found ready to assist his brother-in-law Sir Robert Howard in the composition of what may be described as the first heroic play.
		His other plays, which, both in form of verse and in treatment of subject, fall under the same designation, were Tyrannick Love, or The Royal Martyr (acted in 1668 or 1669), the two parts of Almanzor and Almahide, or The Conquest of Granada (1669 and 1670) and Aureng-Zebe (1676).
		It will thus be seen that the number of heroic plays by Dryden was small, and written at considerable intervals.

		John Wallace argues that Dryden’s heroic drama presented the picture of society united by natural bonds of obligation, an ideal which intended to counteract the myriad causes of intrigue and rebellion plaguing post-Restoration England.
		The editors of the California edition argue that Dryden aims his Conquest of Granada at “those men, leaders or potential-leaders, who served as subjects for panegyric in heroic couplet or dedicatory prose and found themselves and their ancestors cast, as Sidney would have it, in golden images not brazen.
		Keith Walker suggests that The Conquest of Granada “pushed heroic plays as far into heroic absurdity as it was capable of going” (xi).
