'From the "Arcadia" of Sanazzaro on the one hand, and from the "libros de caballerias" on the other, the Portuguese-Spaniard Montemayor created his famous "Diana." This work, like Sidney's "Arcadia," is partly in prose and partly in verse, and, in such English development as arose from the pastoral, the influence of the Spaniard must be reckoned with that of the Neapolitan. It appears in Spenser's "Shepheard's Calendar", and incidentally, it may be observed, that before writing his "Two Gentlemen of Verona" Shakespeare would seem at least to have been told of the substance of Montemayor'. =MONTESQUIEU, CHARLES DE SECONDAT, BARON DE LA BRÉDE ET DE.= _b._ 1689, _d._ 1755. =French author.= CURIOUS THOUGHTS ON THE HISTORY OF MAN. _Tr._ 1789.
