Morisco entertainers actively participated in Spanish popular literature

Evidence

Rom´an was a Morisco working in a fantasy genre, that of the novels of chivalry, and he was not, as far as we can judge, reflecting the reality of life as it was experienced by his community, but it is in this context of interaction between Morisco entertainers and the literature of entertainment for the Spanish general public that we must look at other prose romances in which Muslims (“Moors,” etc.) do figure. — L. P. Harvey, Muslims in Spain, 1500 to 1614, 942
