Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Shakespeare and Spain I have entitled this lecture ´Shakespeare and Spain´, but I shall deal with one side only of the suggested subject, Spain´s influence in Shakespeare, leaving to others the question of Shakespeare´s influence in Spain. I am conscious that I have chosen the lesser part, and in the end I shall concur with your criticism that a more fitting title would have been one which Shakespeare himself has provided ready to hand - Much Ado about Nothing - for I am on the side of those who think that Spain´s direct influence in Shakespeare is small. That is perhaps the general view among such as have given no special consideration to the matter. Eminent scholars hold widely differing opinions. On the one hand, Mr. Aubrey Bell boldly speaks of the Spanish language ´which Shakespeare seems to have known well´, and he continues: ´Several Shakespeare plays were derived from Spanish sources, and one, The Tempest, followed very closely on the publication of its Spanish source. Shakespeare´s allusions to Spain are very numerous, he uses Spanish phrases and gives an English garb to others.´ On the other hand, Professor Fitzmaurice-Kelly cautiously admits: ´There are in Shakespeare a few touches which, with a little goodwill, may be taken as implying some acquaintance, however slight, with Spanish. It is conceivable that Shakespeare contrived to plod through some of the Spanish books which were reprinted in the Netherlands and brought thence to England; some such supposition is almost unavoidable if we choose to accept Dorer´s well-known theory that The Tempest derives from Antonio de Eslava´s Noches de Invierno.
