| Summary |
"Historia de la lengua y literatura castellana, Tomo 1: Desde los orígenes…" by D. Julio Cejador y Frauca is a scholarly historical account written in the early 20th century. This work meticulously explores the origins and evolution of the Spanish language and literature from their ancient roots through the reign of Carlos V. The author, a professor of Latin and Spanish literature, aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the intertwined development of language and literary traditions in Spain. The opening of this volume serves as an elaborate introduction, wherein Cejador y Frauca discusses the challenges and methodologies in documenting the history of the Spanish language and literature. He emphasizes the importance of both the vernacular and scholarly contributions to the development of Spanish, asserting that popular expressions refined through cultural exchange have shaped the language significantly. Additionally, he critiques the reliance on Latin as the sole source of legitimacy in literature, hinting at the complexities of Spanish identity as influenced by multicultural interactions, ultimately setting the stage for a profound exploration of the literary landscape that follows.
