El Loco En El Espejo: Locura y Melancolia En La Espana de Lope de Vega
ISBN: 9789042027893 / Angielski / Miękka / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. En el Siglo de Oro, una epoca marcada por la omnipresencia de la locura (de los reyes locos a sus bufones, de los internos de manicomios a los locos de la baraja del tarot), Belen Atienza ha descubierto que el fascinante y complejisimo debate en torno a la enfermedad mental estaba intimamente ligado a cuestiones politicas y teologicas. Este ensayo, radicalmente innovador, es el primero dedicado a la locura y la melancolia en el teatro de Lope de Vega. Conocedor de la medicina de su tiempo, los manicomios y las "locuras" de reyes y validos, Lope dramatiza la tragedia de los enfermos mentales...

The Dramatic World of Valle-Inclan
ISBN: 9781855660915 / Angielski / Twarda / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Daring, innovative, controversial, often satirical, a dramatist ahead of his time, Ramon del Valle-Inclan (1866-1936) was one of Spain's 'Generation of 1898', and an influence on such later movements as the Theatre of Cruelty and the Theatre of the Absurd. Lima's study first examines Valle-Inclan's day-to-day involvement with the theatre as actor, director-dramaturg and playwright. This is followed by an account of Valle-Inclan's full-length and one-act plays, which demonstrate the foibles and follies of human behaviour, and are discussed here under a variety of thematic headings. There...

The Poetry of Luis Cernuda: Order in a World of Chaos
ISBN: 9781855660632 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The works of the twentieth-century Spanish poet Luis Cernuda (1902-1963) are characterised by their fragmentary and disunified nature, with a wide range of complexities and contradictions. Concentrating on the well-known "La Realidad y El Deseo", Dr McKinlay considers the poems from the perspective of the widespread loss of faith in God, exploring the tension between Cernuda's perception of chaos and desire for order, which co-exist in dialectical opposition. Neil C. McKinlay is college lecturer in Spanish at New College, Oxford.

Los Siete Libros de la Diana
ISBN: 9781855660441 / Hiszpański / Twarda / 380 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume is the first critical edition of Montemayor's Los siete libros de la Diana, the first Spanish pastoral romance, using eight of the earliest editions extant. The base text used is Zaragoza 1560, without the errors noted in the collatio, and therefore the closest to the archetype; variants, notes and corrections based on the stemma are presented in footnotes. An introductory chapter discusses the problem of the date of the first composition and publication of the work. Reproductions of the title-pages of the editions used, preliminary poems, additions to the text (except that of...

Una Poética de la Oscuridad: La Recepción Crítica de Las 'Soledades' En El Siglo XVII
ISBN: 9781855660267 / Hiszpański / Twarda / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Luis de Gongora completed the first version of his Soledad primera in the spring of 1613. Immediately his poem became the centre of a vigorous literary polemic. The writings of his detractors and of his supporters marked the beginning of a period of intense literary criticism in Spanish letters. The corpus of these writings has yet to be properly listed, edited and analysed in its totality. Approaching the problem of the obscurity of Gongora's writings by way of the reception of the Soledades in the seventeenth century, the author has been able to determine why his contemporaries found...

La Práctica Escénica Cortesana: de la Época del Emperador a la de Felipe III
ISBN: 9781855660052 / Angielski / Miękka / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Dr Ferrer Valls studies the relationship between court festivity and theatre in the sixteenth century, placing special emphasis on staging. She argues that throughout the reign of Philip II court spectacle perpetuates the complicated staging of traditional performances, but with greater emphasis on their dramatic aspects and on the use of music and song. In the first two decades of the seventeenth century, and above all in specific plays by Lope de Vega, court spectacles come to reflect also the influence of Italian staging techniques.

God's Obvious Design: Spanish Armada Symposium, Sligo, 1988 Including 'The Account of Francisco de Cuéllar'
ISBN: 9781855660007 / Hiszpański / Twarda / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A distinguished group of specialists examine afresh issues of particular concern to historians of the Spanish Armada. In particular they look at the contemporary Spanish view of Philip II's imperialism (Watson); at the composition and equipping of the fleet (Martin, Thompson, O'Donnell); at the unpredictable influence of outside agents, notably the Dutch fleet and the appalling weather of 1588 and its consequences (Schokkenbroek, Daultrey, Hogueras and San Pio); and at the reflection of the Armada in the myths and literature of the time (Fernandez-Armesto, Calvar, the editors). The editors...

Toward a Cultural Archive of la Movida: Back to the Future
ISBN: 9781611476309 / Angielski / Twarda / 370 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Toward a Cultural Archive of la Movida revisits the cultural and social milieu in which la Movida, an explosion of artistic production in the late 1970s and early 1980s, was articulated discursively, aesthetically, socially, and politically. We connect this experience with a broader national and international context that takes it beyond the city of Madrid and outside the borders of Spain. This collection of essays links the political and social undertakings of this cultural period with youth movements in Spain and other international counter-cultural or underground movements. Moving away...

The Theater of Truth: The Ideology of (Neo)Baroque Aesthetics
ISBN: 9780804769549 / Angielski / Twarda / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Theater of Truth argues that seventeenth-century baroque and twentieth-century neobaroque aesthetics have to be understood as part of the same complex. The Neobaroque, rather than being a return to the stylistic practices of a particular time and place, should be described as the continuation of a cultural strategy produced as a response to a specific problem of thought that has beset Europe and the colonial world since early modernity. This problem, in its simplest philosophical form, concerns the paradoxical relation between appearances and what they represent. Egginton explores...

A Companion to Catalan Literature
ISBN: 9781855662063 / Angielski / Miękka / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is the only one of its kind in English. Part literary history, part literary criticism, it is above all a personal assessment of a rich and important body of work which is still not widely known outside Catalonia. Catalan literature, one of the three major Peninsular literatures, reached an impressive level of excellence in the middle ages, beginning with Ramon Llull and the chronicles, and culminating in the two great fifteenth-century writers, the poet Ausias March and Joanot Martorell, the author of Tirant lo Blanc, one of the landmarks in early prose fiction. After three...

A Companion to Latin American Literature

A Companion to Latin American Literature offers a lively and informative introduction to the most significant literary works produced in Latin America from the fifteenth century until the present day.

A Companion to Spanish American Modernismo
ISBN: 9781855662155 / Angielski / Miękka / 155 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Modernismo, a literary movement of fundamental importance to Spanish America and Spain, occurred at the turn of the nineteenth century, roughly from the 1880s to the 1920s. It is widely regarded as the first Spanish-language literary movement that originated in the New World and that became influential in the "Mother Country," Spain. Characterized by the appropriation of French Symbolist aesthetics into Spanish-language literature, modernismo's other significant traits were its cultural cosmopolitanism, its philological concern with language, literary history, and literary technique, and its...

With such figures as Jorge Luis Borges, Miguel Angel Asturias and Gabriel Garcia Marquez (both the latter Nobel Prizewinners) Spanish American fiction is now unquestionably an integral part of the mainstream of Western literature.
