dc.description.abstract | Don Diego Sarmiento de Acuña, the Count of Gondomar, was undoubtedly one of the most influential and controversial men ever seen at the seventeenth-century English Court. However, in a time when anti-Spanish views were being disseminated not only in England but all around the world, the Spanish ambassador’s strategic abilities would not be commented precisely in a positive way by English people. This dissertation studies the process by which the Count of Gondomar was added to the Black Legend that circulated since the sixteenth century. By exploring Modern views on Gondomar together with Scott’s political pamphlet Vox Populi (1620) and Middleton’s play A Game at Chesse (1624), the analysis shows how a flesh and blood diplomat whose professional aim was the preservation of his home state was, mostly due to subtle propaganda, turned into nothing but an evil fictional character that incited hatred all over Europe. | es |
dc.description.abstract | Don Diego Sarmiento de Acuña, conde de Gondomar, fue indudablemente uno de los hombres más influyentes y controvertidos de la corte inglesa del siglo XVII. Sin embargo, en una época en la que se difundían opiniones antiespañolas no solo en Inglaterra sino en todo el mundo, las habilidades estratégicas del embajador español no serían comentadas positivamente por los ingleses. Esta tesis estudia el proceso mediante el cual el conde de Gondomar fue incorporado a la leyenda negra que circulaba desde el siglo XVI. A través del estudio de opiniones modernas sobre Gondomar, del panfleto político de Scott, Vox Populi (1620), y de la obra de teatro de Middleton, A Game at Chesse (1624), este análisis muestra cómo un diplomático de carne y hueso cuyo propósito profesional era preservar su país de origen fue, principalmente gracias a propaganda ingeniosa, convertido en un personaje ficticio que incitaba odio en toda Europa. | es |
