As discussed in the first half of the fourteenth century Spain had been converted into arbiter of Europe under the imperial crown of Charles V, extending his dominions by Italy Germany and the Netherlands, and it was logical to expect that after the political apogee ubiera a flourishing intellectual literature would have its brightest manifestations.

The Italian influence on Spanish literature accelerated in this century. in decasílabo, alone or combined decasílabo, then became one of the two classical meters of Spanish poetry, the other was the octasilabo.

Gines de Hita (1544-1619), with its civil wars of Granada, a work translated into most European languages, gives way to romantic ballads and threads on the continent awakens great interest by the Arabs, the presented in its most romantic and chivalrous.

In the sixteenth century did not exist in France over the theater Permanente burgones hotel in Paris, founded by cofrados dedicadoo the mission and the theater of the Middle Ages. even after after 1548, when an order of parliament banned the production of the mysteries, these brothers continued to enjoy a monopoly of public performances until 1599. therefore, the Renaissance playwrights had had their works representing esenarios inprovisados, and many tragedis and comedies of that time were released not ever, resulting in a theater designed more to the reading.

We got back to the theater, literary genre constitutes true synthesis of all that was, especialemente therefore refers to the golden age. the immense variety that flocked to the scene in this period gives the classic Spanish theater character of an encyclopedia of the brightest moment in the history of Spain.

Until the late seventeenth century, dramatic literature, was shaping his character mereced to a set of actors who, if not glowing in the front row instead possess the virtue of having abiertopaso lopex writers like Vega, Tirso de Molina and calderon . between predesse distingen: Bartolome de Torres Nahas, I find the original path followed by the Spanish drama in the seventeenth century, the Portuguese Gil Vicente who owed cars, comedies and farces tragicomedies; lopes wheel, creator of the steps small works concise and graceful constumbrist announcing the theater; juan de cuva, I try to reflect in their works the national epiritu legendary, and even Timoneda who also wrote steps lopes style of wheel and under several Latin comedies.

The English theater Elizabethan Shakespeare.

The remarkable economic boost given in England during the reign of Isabel and resulted also in the field of the arts, especially in theater. so it is often the name of the Elizabethan theater to manifest in this time, which we will summarize some of its most prominent representatives.

Stairway to heaven


There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold 
And she's buying a stairway to heaven. 
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed 
With a word she can get what she came for. 
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven. 

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure 
'cause you know sometimes words have two meanings. 
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings, 
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven. 
Ooh, it makes me wonder, 
Ooh, it makes me wonder. 

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west, 
And my spirit is crying for leaving. 
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees, 
And the voices of those who stand looking. 
Ooh, it makes me wonder, 
Ooh, it really makes me wonder. 

And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune 
Then the piper will lead us to reason. 
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long 
And the forests will echo with laughter. 

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now, 
It's just a spring clean for the may queen. 
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run 
There's still time to change the road you're on. 
And it makes me wonder. 

Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know, 
The piper's calling you to join him, 
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know 
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind. 

And as we wind on down the road 
Our shadows taller than our soul. 
There walks a lady we all know 
Who shines white light and wants to show 

How everything still turns to gold. 
And if you listen very hard 
The tune will come to you at last. 
When all are one and one is all 
To be a rock and not to roll.
