Summary |
"Orígenes de la novela - Tomo II" by Marcelino Menéndez y Pelayo is a scholarly work focused on the origins of the short story and novel in Spanish literature, likely written in the late 19th century. The book combines an analysis of early novels from the 15th and 16th centuries with accompanying texts that illustrate the linguistic, stylistic, and thematic characteristics of the period's literature. It aims to uncover the historical context and developmental trajectory of narrative forms in Spanish literature. The opening of the work provides an overview of the transcription standards used for the original text, outlining the formatting conventions for quotations and annotations. It features an introductory section written by Menéndez y Pelayo, which sets the stage for a detailed examination of short stories and translations from Italian works that influenced Spanish literature during that era. Notably, the introduction discusses early influences, such as the works of Boccaccio and Cervantes, emphasizing their pivotal roles in shaping the narrative traditions that would follow.
