Du Bellay, Spenser, and Quevedo search for Rome: a teacher's peregrination
Article Abstract:
The sonnet "Nouveau venu qui cherches Rome en Rome" (1558) by Joachim Du Bellay has thematic and stylistic parallels to texts by Vitalis, Edmund Spenser, and Francisco de Quevedo, a series of relationships extending across four languages and 100 years. The boundaries in literary studies drawn along national lines often prevents such textual relationships from coming to light.
