Jordi Sánchez-Martí. 2020. Los libros de caballerías en Inglaterra, 1578−1700. Salamanca: Ediciones Universidad Salamanca Stefano Neri Università di Verona, Italy Thanks to a growing number of studies and editions published in recent years, the international impact of sixteenth-century Iberian chivalric romances is gradually emerging from a confusing grey area to be properly valued and acknowledged. Its role in the forging of national and transnational cultural and literary canons is on the right path to be justly recognized, but the process that in the coming years will allow us to have a suffciently clear overview to advance critical overall evaluations is still long and insidious. Scholars and research teams dealing with this enormous bibliographic corpus must not only bring to bear their comparative, philological, historical, and linguistic expertise, but often—and this is where the main diffculties arise— also their skills in mediating between scientifc communities that frequently try hard to talk to each other. When this happens, when disciplinary boundaries are crossed by the desire to learn and to create shared knowledge, mutual enrichment increases exponentially. Jordi Sánchez-Martí deserves high praise for having been a promoter of this kind of dialogue in recent years, at least starting with the international meeting he organized in Alicante, entitled “The printed distribution of the Iberian books of chivalry in early modern Europe” (2019), if not before. On this occasion, specialists from different disciplinary felds and different countries discussed the literary object that unites their lines of research, presenting their fndings, their ongoing projects and ultimately laying the foundations for joint collaborations with a wide international scope. Research results have been particularly vast and interesting in the feld of English studies. From a situation of substantial stalemate crystallized around the contributions of the praiseworthy monographs by Thomas (1920)—the only one translated into Spanish (1952)—, Patchell (1947), and O’Connor (1970), over the last 15–20 years there has been a shift to a more clearly defned framework of knowledge Sederi 32 (2022: 159–163) https://doi.org./10.34136/sederi.2022.4
