Abstract

This article studies the manner in which Spanish theatre plays in their Dutch translation were sold in Amsterdam between 1617 and 1672, with an emphasis in Lope de Vega’s works. His remarkable popularity is analysed in quantitative and qualitative terms; that is, employing numeric data concerning how many of the translated plays were his, while also paying attention to how often his name was mentioned and in which fashion. This method has proved insightful when studying images of «the other», for the manner of selling these translations as «Spanish» or «Dutch» reflects the reigning tastes, interests and debates in society.
