- Title
Gascoigne's Globe: The Spoyle of Antwerpe and the Black Legend of Spain.
- Authors
Salamon, Linda Bradley
- Abstract
In this article, the author discusses the representation of the Black Legend of Spain in the literary work "The Spoyle of Antwerpe," by George Gascoigne. The author explores the rise of the Black Legend, outlines Gascoigne's representations of the world beyond England, and presents the work as a confluence of the two. She notes that a measure of Gascoigne's ability to create propaganda through his text lies in its high rhetoric: he can describe, narrate, analyze, assess, and even condemn through shifts in tone and lexicon that subtly and gradually make his meaning plain.
