Góngora traveler between Berni and Ariosto (on three sonnets)

The article examines three sonnets in which G & oacute;ngora combines the autobiographical motif of the bad trip with that of the contempt of court in the light of his possible Italian models: the capitoli of Francesco Berni and the Berneschi, , and the Satire of Ariosto. The motif of the bad lodging, as well as the use of specific rhetorical devices, refers to the former; to the latter, the Horatian motif of the frugal meal and the poet's perspective of abandoning the place. If, on the one hand, this reading suggests G & oacute;ngora's literary affiliation to the theme of the journey (which could imply a change of date in one of the sonnets), on the other hand, it confirms the sentimental vision of Spain that, as Robert Jammes pointed out, G & oacute;ngora draws throughout his poetry.
