Reading and Fiction in Golden-Age Spain: A Platonist Critique and Some Picaresque Replies - Cambridge Iberian and Latin American Studies
B. W. Ife
In the Spanish Golden Age, the new literary mode of vernacular prose fiction was deplored by many authorities for setting bad examples, undermining reality by deceiving with lies, and persuading in the face of rational disbelief. Dr Ife here examines the connection between such contemporary objections to fiction and those raised two thousand years earlier by Plato.
