Medieval Spanish Literature
Medieval Spanish literature consists of the corpus of literary works written in Old Spanish between the beginning of the 13th and the end of the 15th century. Traditionally, the first and last works of this period are taken to be respectively the ''Cantar de mio Cid'', an epic poem whose manuscript dates from 1207, and '' La Celestina'' (1499), a work commonly described as transitional between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. By the end of the 10th century, the languages spoken in the Iberian Peninsula had developed far from their Latin origins, and can assuredly be called Romance. Latin texts were no longer understood, as can be seen from the glosses used in manuscripts of Castile to explain Latin terms. Spanish oral literature was doubtless in existence before Spanish texts were written. This is shown by the fact that different authors in the second half of the 11th century could include, at the end of poems written in Arabic or Hebrew, closing verses that, in many cases, ...

Spanish Literature
Spanish literature is literature ( Spanish poetry, prose, and drama) written in the Spanish language within the territory that presently constitutes the Kingdom of Spain. Its development coincides and frequently intersects with that of other literary traditions from regions within the same territory, particularly Catalan literature, Galician intersects as well with Latin, Jewish, and Arabic literary traditions of the Iberian Peninsula. The literature of Spanish America is an important branch of Spanish literature, with its own particular characteristics dating back to the earliest years of Spain’s conquest of the Americas (see Latin American literature). Overview The Roman conquest and occupation of the Iberian Peninsula beginning in the 3rd century BC brought a Latin culture to Spanish territories. The Muslim conquest in 711 CE brought the cultures of West Asia and the North Africa to the peninsula, creating Andalusi literary traditions. In medieval Spanish literature, th ...

Mester De Juglaría
Mester de juglaría ("Ministry of jongleury") is a Spanish literature genre from the 12th and 13th centuries, transmitted orally by "juglares" who made their living by reciting and singing these stories for the recreations of nobles, rulers, and the general public. These were people of humble origins, traveling comedians who also engaged in circus acts like juggling, tightrope walking, and acrobatics, or acted as clowns who told jokes or played simple instruments, or danced and sang versions of simple mime or puppet pieces, or, importantly, recited verses composed by other authors, called troubadours, either in public places (town squares, above all), or in castles of feudal lords for whom they were housed; much of the time they also supported themselves by the visual arts. According to Ramón Menéndez Pidal, in his study of the poetry of juglares and the origins of romantic literature (Madrid 1957), the word ''juglar'' comes from the Latin ''jocularis'', ''joculator'', and it s ...

Paragogic
Paragoge () is the addition of a sound to the end of a word. It is a type of epenthesis. Paragoge is most often linked with the nativization of loanwords. It is particularly common in Brazilian Portuguese, not only in loanwords but also in word derivation. It is also present in the accents of many Brazilians while speaking foreign languages such as English. Some languages have undergone paragoge as a sound change, and modern forms are longer than the historical forms they are derived from. Italian ''sono'' 'I am', from Latin ''sum'', is an example. Sometimes, as above, the paragogic vowel is an echo vowel, such as Proto-Oceanic ''*saqat'' "bad" > Uneapa ''zaɣata''. Etymology The word ''paragoge'' is taken from 'deviation; language alteration': from παρα- prefix ''para-'' 'beside' and ἀγωγή ''agogē'' 'bringing in'. In loanwords Some languages add a sound to the end of a loanword when it would otherwise end in a forbidden sound. Some languages add a grammatical end ...

Assonance
Assonance is the repetition of identical or similar phonemes in words or syllables that occur close together, either in terms of their vowel phonemes (e.g., ''lean green meat'') or their consonant phonemes (e.g., ''Kip keeps capes ''). However, in American usage, ''assonance'' exclusively refers to this phenomenon when affecting vowels, whereas, when affecting consonants, it is generally called ''consonance''. The two types are often combined, as between the words ''six'' and ''switch'', which contain the same vowel and similar consonants. If there is repetition of the same vowel or some similar vowels in literary work, especially in stressed syllables, this may be termed "vowel harmony" in poetry (though linguists have a different definition of "vowel harmony"). A special case of assonance is rhyme, in which the endings of words (generally beginning with the vowel sound of the last stressed syllable) are identical—as in ''fog'' and ''log'' or ''history'' and ''mystery''.

Cantar De Los Siete Infantes De Lara
The ''Cantar de los Siete Infantes de Lara'' ("Song of the Seven Lara Princes") is a legend, perhaps derived from a lost ''cantar de gesta'', that relates a tale of family feuding and revenge, centering on the murder of the eponymous seven ''infantes'' (princes) of Lara or Salas. The legend survives in prose form in medieval chronicles, the oldest being in the extended version of the ''Estoria de España'' (History of Spain) compiled during the reign of Sancho IV of Castile before 1289 (edited by Ramón Menéndez Pidal under the name ''Primera Crónica General''). From the account found in this chronicle as well as mention in the ''Crónica de 1344'' (''Segunda Crónica General'') and interpolations into a copy of the ''Tercera Crónica General'' dating from 1512, Menéndez Pidal found evidence for the existence of an ancient lost ''cantar de gesta'' that scholars have since partially reconstructed, dating back to the year 1000. This work would, along with the ''Cantar de Mio Cid ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
