Spanish Golden Age literature results from Christian, Jewish, and Islamic confluence.

Evidence

In the last half century or more, and thanks above all to the writings of Am´erico Castro, there has taken place an ideological reevaluation of Spanish literature, both that of the Middle Ages and that of the sixteenth century. Spanish literature, long viewed as essentially the product of a Christian culture that was exceptionally monolithic, has been reinterpreted as the outcome of the confluence of three religious cultures, Jewish Islamic, and Christian. — L. P. Harvey, Muslims in Spain, 1500 to 1614, 962
