by Roger Chartier ...

Transformations of the Written Word in Early Modern Europe

by Roger Chartier ...

In Early Modern Europe the first readers of a book were not those who bought it. They were the scribes who copied the author’s or translator’s manuscript, the censors who licensed it, the publisher who decided to put this title in his catalogue, the copy editor who prepared the text for the press, divided it and added punctuation, the typesetters who composed the pages of the book, and the proof ...

Four Plays of Gil Vicente

Sorrir é bom quando se tem ventura ou quando, ao menos, feiticeira esp'rança; arfa a existencia em mares de bonança, rompe a alvorada sempre amena e pura. Meiga rolinha de encantadas selvas Como me encanta o teu gentil cantar! Por ti perdera a mocidade, a vida... —Mas eu não posso, não te devo amar.—A A ti, virgem pura e casta; Offereço os cantos meus; Se queres pagar-m'os, basta... Um só olhar d ... Read more

A Companion to Pablo Neruda

Evaluating Neruda's Poetry

by Jason Wilson ...

Pablo Neruda was without doubt one of the greatest poets of the twentieth century but his work is extremely uneven. There is a view that there are two Nerudas, an early Romantic visionary and a later Marxist populist, who denied his earlier poetic self. By focussing on the poet's apprenticeship, and by looking closely at how Neruda created his poetic persona within his poems, this Companion tries ... Read more

Maurophilia and the Construction of Early Modern Spain

by Barbara Fuchs ...

In the Western imagination, Spain often evokes the colorful culture of al-Andalus, the Iberian region once ruled by Muslims. Tourist brochures inviting visitors to sunny and romantic Andalusia, home of the ingenious gardens and intricate arabesques of Granada's Alhambra Palace, are not the first texts to trade on Spain's relationship to its Moorish past. Despite the fall of Granada to the Catholic ... Read more
