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.

OBRAS NARRATIVAS

Este libro recoge tres obras de Enrique Bernardo Núñez, "Don Pablos en América," "Cubagua" y "La Galera de Tiberio," las cuales ahora se publican por primera vez en conjunto, constituyendo las mismas el centro del proyecto narrativo de este destacadísimo escritor venezolano. Estas obras, que fueran escritas entre las décadas de 1920 y 1930, invitan a una reconsideración historiográfica del aporte venezolano a la renovación narrativa continental del Siglo XX. Alejado tanto del regionalismo como de la incipiente beligerancia vanguardista, Enrique Bernardo Nuñez anticipó aspectos...

Azorín y el concepto de clásico

Azorín y el concepto de clásico contribuye a estudiar una de las facetas más interesantes del autor alicantino: su relación con los clásicos nacionales. Tras una contextualización del debate sobre los clásicos en las letras españolas de los inicios del siglo XX, Carme Riera traza un itinerario por los textos azorinianos para observar que Martínez Ruiz pasa por tres etapas: aceptación, rechazo y posterior recuperación de los clásicos nacionales de los que se convertirá a partir de 1905 en su principal valedor.
