Literary Landscapes and Allegorical Spaces in Hernando de Acuña’s El caballero Determinado

Abstract

In El caballero determinado the hero travels through a series of spaces clearly inspired by the tales of chivalry but acquiring, by the very purpose of the book, a patent allegorical connotation whose interpretation represents the last part of the message of the book. This paper attempts to analyze these spaces and give them a meaning.
