Quevedo y los Lusus pastoralis de Navagero (una cala)

Abstract

This article aims to approach the possible literary influences that the Lusus of Navagero exerted on Quevedo’s pastoral poems. For this purpose, different bucolic ideas shared by both authors will be analysed, such as divine rituals, floral garlands, the presence of country animals, the motif of the dawn, the female visuality and the constellations. Thus, the comparison between the bucolic verses of the Venetian and the author from Madrid allows us to notice some tenuous concomitances that would invite us to continue investigating this academic line in later studies, valuing the notable circulation of the poetic anthologies of the Italian cinquecento during this period.
