Dear all,
I'm currently working on the entry 'merchant' for a thematic dictionary
of literature to be published in Turin by Utet. The subject is vast of
course, and the entry is supposed to look at European and colonial
literature (in 5000 words!). I have lots of obvious examples (Merchant
of Venice, Chaucer, Boccaccio etc), but as I am primarily an
Italianist/Germanist, I feel I might be overlooking important merchant
figures in Spanish/Portuguese literature. I would be grateful for any
suggestions. As the finished product will necessarily be superficial,
brief pointers are all I'm looking for. Please reply to the following
address: [log in to unmask]
Thanks very much in advance,
Deborah Holmes
