Celebrating the Spanish Renaissance's greatest poems, editor Edith Grossman turns her passionate fervour and stylistic brilliance to the works of:
Jorge Manrique;
Garcilaso de la Vega, a soldier and courtier who wrote love poetry;
Fray Luis de León, a converso Jew;
San Juan de la Cruz, whose poems are the finest exemplars of Christian mysticism;
Luis de Góngora, a great sensualist;
Lope de Vega, Cervantes' rival;
Francisco de Quevedo, the ultimate Baroque poet;
Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, the nun whose haunting poetry embodied the voice of Mexico.
Through these glorious voices, presented in facing-page Spanish and English, this book offers a new way to connect with the literary heritage of the Spanish-speaking world.
