The Golden Age: Poems of the Spanish Renaissance

"Edith Grossman again demonstrates that she indeed is the Glenn Gould of translators."â€•Harold Bloom
Celebrating the Spanish Renaissance's greatest poems and offering a new appreciation of Spain's "Golden Age, " Edith Grossman turns her passionate fervor and stylistic brilliance to the works of Jorge Manrique; Garcilaso de la Vega, a soldier and courtier who wrote love poetry; Fray Luis de LeÃ³n, a converso Jew; San Juan de la Cruz, whose poems are the finest exemplars of Christian mysticism; Luis de GÃ³ngora, a great sensualist; Lope de Vega, Cervantes' rival; Francisco de Quevedo, the ultimate Baroque poet; and Sor Juana InÃ©s de la Cruz, the nun whose haunting poetry embodied the voice of Mexico. Through these glorious voices, presented in facing-page Spanish and English, The Golden Age offers a new way to connect with the literary heritage of the Spanish-speaking world. 10 illustrations
