The Spanish Golden Age Sonnet Hardback
Edited by John Rutherford
Part of the Iberian and Latin American Studies series
Hardback
Description
The sonnets written during the Spanish Golden Age of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries are among the finest poems written in the Spanish language.
This book presents over one hundred of the best and most representative sonnets of that period, together with translations into English sonnets and detailed critical commentaries.
Garcilaso de la Vega, Gongora and Quevedo receive particular attention, but other poets such as Aldana, Lope de Vega and Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz are also well represented.
A substantial introduction provides accounts of the sonnet genre, of the historical and literary background, and of the problems faced by the translator of sonnets.
The aim of this volume is to provide semantically accurate translations that bring the original sonnets to life in modern English as true sonnets: not just aids to the comprehension of the originals but also lively and enjoyable poems in their own right.
