The Strife of Tongues

Sinopsis del Libro

Fray Luis de Len (1527-91) is known chiefly as the author of some of the finest poetry of the Spanish Golden Age, but he also wrote important prose works in both Latin and Spanish, and produced eloquent translations into Spanish of biblical and classical texts. He spent five years imprisoned in solitary confinement by the Spanish Inquisition, fighting to clear himself of a series of accusations against his views on the Bible. Acquitted on all counts, he returned to teach at the University of Salamanca. This book examines the controversies in which Fray Luis was caught up, and investigates the complex influences upon his writings of his prison experiences, his indebtedness to Judaism, his interests as a linguist, and his work as a biblical scholar and theologian. Colin Thompson looks afresh at Fray Luis's most famous poems and prose works, and explores his understanding of language as a means of enabling God to speak to humanity and humanity to rise to God.

Escatología de la Crítica

Escatología de la Crítica no propone una metaforización sino que define hechos histórica y conceptualmente constatables, un proceso íntegro, con inicio y acabamiento, que exige la completa perspectiva de los asuntos últimos, vida y muerte, trascendencia e infierno o purgatorio, pero también el aspecto de los grosero o desechable, residual o excrementicio. Aquí se apuesta de manera decidida, tras describir el itinerario de la malversación y sus elementos coadyuvantes, la caída, por un renacimiento. Éste sólo puede ocurrir mediante el reencuentro con la propia naturaleza crítica...

El mundo de la infancia y otros temas alusivos en la narrativa realista y fantástica de Ana María Matute

Childhood is a fundamental theme in the works of Ana Maria Matute, and also one of the key issues for the study of the aesthetic narrative of the writer. This thesis presents an analysis of the image of childhood in the works of Matute written for adults, observed in two distinct literary contexts: that of the realistic novels and of the fantastic works. This division also corresponds, though not mathematically, to the two creative periods of the writer, so that the continuity and evolution of both the theme and the aesthetic techniques throughout the author's entire literary career can be...
