Abstract

The article discusses Thomas Kyd's use of Latin quotations in The Spanish Tragedy, specifically focusing on a passage where the Viceroy of Portugal speaks lines that were previously attributed to Kyd. However, it is revealed that Kyd actually borrowed these lines from a Neo-Latin poem by Tito Vespasiano Strozzi and slightly adapted them. The article also highlights the relationship between Kyd and other poets like Thomas Watson, who were known for adapting and quoting each other's compositions. This sheds light on the intertextual practices of Elizabethan poets and playwrights. [Extracted from the article]
