The Counter-Reformation and Spanish Literature Talk by A. A. Parker
The religious orthodoxy imposed on Spain by the Counter-Reformation is generally considered to have plunged Spanish culture into spiritual gloom and intellectual stagnation. A. A. Parker , Professor of Spanish at London University, compares this opinion with the evidence offered by Spanish literature. He suggests that, in fact, there was during this period a free and deeper speculation on the nature of man and society.
