""The book offers an insightful approach to the different ways in which Iberian chivalric romances permeated English literature and culture for over a century and vindicates the relevance of these translations, especially those by Munday, to the study of English Renaissance literature."" - David Arbesú, University of South Florida (Bulletin of Spanish Studies)

This book offers a much needed and long-awaited systematic exploration of a paramount literary genre of early modern fiction in England: Iberian chivalric romances. This collective volume sets the foundations of future research regarding the genre, as its chapters show manifold approaches to the subject, including literary, translation, gender, and cultural studies, as well as book and material history. These perspectives underscore the importance and complexity of Iberian chivalric romances in England. This book will prove useful to scholars working on Golden Age Iberian literature and Elizabethan and Jacobean English literature alike, whether they are interested in the Amadis and Palmerin cycle, the central role of Anthony Munday in the literary book market, or issues regarding rhetoric, gender, religion, or empire. - Daniel Gutierrez Trapaga, Faculty of Philosophy and Letters, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico
