Abstract

The volume Ezra Pound and the Spanish World gathers for the first time both critical readings and the complex history of Pounds lifelong engagement with Spanish literature, Spain's Golden Age, Spanish history and culture, modern and contemporary Spanish writers, and Spanish language. This chapter deals with Ezra Pound's appreciation and translation of several plays by Lope de Vega. It explores Pound's insightful views about Lope's poetic theatre, mostly through Pound's critical essays in The Spirit of Romance.
