This edition will not only provide a linguistic analysis of this text but also consider the wider ramifications of Mabbe’s activities as a conduit for Spain and its culture, as well as analysing the role this Englishing published in 1640 of a selection of the Novelas ejemplares (‘The two Damosels’, ‘The Ladie Cornelia’, ‘The liberall Lover’, ‘The force of bloud’, ‘The Spanish Ladie’, and ‘The jealous Husband’) has in the profound and extensive legacy of Cervantes in early modern England.
