Chivalric romance assumed a leading role in 16^th-18^th-century Iberian prose. This book examines the Memorial das Proezas da Segunda Távola Redonda (1567) from the theoretical perspective of memory studies. By analyzing transtextual relations and textual representations of memory, it shows how Jorge Ferreira de Vasconcelos' text should be read both as a product and a generator of 16^th-century literary and cultural memory.
