The literature of the Spanish Golden Age is one of the most important and prolific periods in Spain's literary history. It spanned the 16th and 17th centuries, marked by a flourishing of literary works that continue to influence Spanish culture today. Notably, the Golden Age produced transcendent works, including "Don Quijote de la Mancha" by Miguel de Cervantes, which remains a cornerstone of world literature.
To dive into the literature of this period, I recommend starting with a selection of poems by Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz to immerse yourself in the poetry of the Golden Age. Additionally, exploring the richness of its theater, with playwrights such as Lope de Vega and Pedro Calderón de la Barca, can provide captivating insights into the societal and cultural themes of that era.
