Francisco Rodrigues Lobo: Dialogue and Courtly Lore in Renaissance Portugal

by Richard A. Preto-Rodas

This work examines the dialogue tradition as it shaped the structure and themes of Lobo's seventeenth-century classic. Lobo's departure from earlier views of courtly lore is shown in his preference for social eloquence and literary cultivation over nobility of character and physical prowess.
