La tradición manuscrita de los Sueños de Quevedo y la primera edición

Resumen del Libro

Annotation Between 1605 and 1621, Quevedo wrote a sequence of five "Dreams" or "Visions" "(Suenos y discursos), in each of which he hilariously envisions Spanish society as populated by people rightfully condemned to Hell. These astonishingly witty and irreverent satires of contemporary Spanish culture, morality, prejudice and religious fanaticism, were composed in a style as allusive, elliptical and equivocal as to successfully entertain both those who barely understood their full range and import, and others who celebrated the poet's rebellious insinuations. Censorship prohibited the publication of such satire in its original form, but hundreds of copies were made by hand and circulated widely. In 1993 a critical edition of all of the surviving manuscripts was published. Crosby's work compares this version with all of the 43 extant manuscripts, and for the first time identifies those groups of manuscripts from which the publishers of the first edition derived their text. This text can now be seen as a version not only censored, but corrupted successively by copyists and editors who did not understand Quevedo's satire. The result is hardly what Spain's most famous satirist originally wrote.

Caballero noble desbaratado

"First-person narrative does not always fall under the genre of autobiography.

Caballeros andantes españoles

Un libro, como indica su título, sobre los caballeros andantes españoles, un prototipo social de la España del siglo xv, tal como atestiguan las crónicas de la época. Si existieron los caballeros andantes fue, en parte, gracias a Lancelote, Curial o Amadís, pero estos reflejan, no siempre tan exageradamente como se ha dicho, la realidad en la que fueron imaginados. Así, de la mano de quien también nos hizo llegar la música de los trovadores a través de sus textos, presentamos algunos de aquellos personajes en los que se inspiró la novela de caballerías, el género que hizo...
