The Myth Of The Black Knight: Subverting The Image Of Count Gondomar In Early Modern England, Ernesto Oyarbide Magaña
This article centres its attention on the propaganda produced after the failure of the Spanish Match: the marriage negotiations between Spain and England from 1614 to 1623. More specifically, it wishes to analyse Thomas Scott's Second Vox Populi through its images and assess their influence on Middleton's A Game at Chess. One of the purposes of this article will be to address Middleton's use of Scott's iconography and, to a certain extent its prose, to more clearly identify this playwright's rhetorical strategies in the creation of the myth of the Black Knight: a subversive reading of the Spanish diplomat, Count Gondomar.
