The Poems in Diego de San Pedro's Arnalte y Lucenda and Arnalte's Imitatio Mariae morePublished in The Spain of the Catholic Monarchs: Papers from the Quincentenary Conference (Bristol, 2004), ed. David Hook, University of Bristol Hispanic, Portuguese, and Latin American Monographs (Bristol: Department of Hispanic, Portuguese, & Latin American Studies, School of Modern Languages, University of Bristol, 2008), pp. 131-153.
The two long poems in Arnalte y Lucenda have been described as 'a virtual irrelevance' but I argue that they reveal much about the personalities of the characters who utter them. In particular, since there are parallels between events in Arnalte's story and five of the Siete angustias de Nuestra Señora, it is possible that he has been performing an imitatio Mariae.
