John Barclay's Argenis, transl. by José Pellicer de Salas (1626)
Title
John Barclay's Argenis, transl. by José Pellicer de Salas (1626)
Description
Undoubtedly, Argenis, novel and political treatise alike, was one of the books that proliferated in the Spanish libraries of the Golden Age. Its style influenced Baltasar Gracian's prose; Calderón de la Barca adapted its plot for his comedy Argenis y Poliarco. The reader annotating the text, jaded by the lengthy prose of John Barclay, could not appreciate his style in the same way.
