Although some might quibble over the exact dates, Spanish literature of the Golden Age (or “Siglo de Oro” in Spanish) usually refers to those works produced in Spain during the 16th and 17th centuries. It is a period that encompasses what is often broadly known–especially in other European countries-- as the Renaissance and the [[Baroque]].
