Chivalric romance assumed a leading role in 16th-18th-century Iberian prose. This book examines the Memorial das Proezas da Segunda Távola Redonda (1567) from the theoretical perspective of memory studies. By analyzing transtextual relations and textual representations of memory, it shows how Jorge Ferreira de Vasconcelos' text should be read both as a product and a generator of 16th-century literary and cultural memory.
