DON QUIXOTE (1605). Tr. by Thomas Shelton, 1612–20.

A COLLECTION OF SELECT NOVELS, written originally in Castilian by Don M. C. S. made English by H. Bridges, 1728.

Butler's 'Hudibras' is a palpable metrical imitation of 'Don Quixote'.

Beaumont and Fletcher's 'Knight of the Burning Pestle' is a still closer imitation.

The tremendous influence of 'Don Quixote' upon English literature is difficult to define. He was imitated by the Elizabethans, e.g. Middleton's 'Spanish Gipsy' and Fletcher's 'Fair Maid of the Inn' are both taken from his 'Novellas Exemplares'.

These were of vast importance in the metrical paraphrases that occupied the chief period of English Literature in the Middle Ages, had a very great influence upon the Italian romancers, affected English literature through Spenser and others, and influenced more particularly the Elizabethan period.
