As part of the recent Spanish turn to early modern English studies, this panel explores the various forms of literary, cultural, and economic exchange between England and Spain during the 16th and 17th centuries. In order to understand how and why culture crosses national borders, particularly during times of political turmoil, we welcome papers from both the Spanish and English perspectives, which discourse on any aspect of cross-national contact between England and Spain during the Renaissance.
