Description:
'The clarity and intelligence with which both the poetry and the introductory material are presented make this book a useful tool for the scholar.' Barbara Mujica Francisco de Quevedo, Spanish novelist, satirist and moralist of the seventeenth century, was also renowned as a poet. He grouped his poetry in categories corresponding to the nine muses, and this volume presents the Polimnia group. Alfonso Rey's critical edition encompasses the 110 sonnets, one silva, and one epistle in tercetos which make up this group; he rigorously elucidates problems of textual criticism and transmission, and reveals the thematic and stylist homogeneity of the collection.
