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.

In the same way, this lack of recognition has been perpetuated by the absence of information of the literary works produced during the 19th century and has hampered the investigation and research of new generations of readers. Therefore, this Bibliography of...

Estación Floresta

Hacer de las tramas policíacas una conjetura y de sus lógicas narrativas un juego de la imaginación es la rutina que ocupa al señor Carrados y a miss Clack, los personajes centrales de este entramado de historias. Al mejor estilo de un detective con su asistente, un anciano ciego y su enfermera enfrentan la vida como si fuera un misterio por resolver. Conversaciones de vecinos, incidentes familiares, recortes de periódicos y anécdotas inconclusas son los rastros domésticos que terminan por intrincar el desenlace del género literario cuando se compara con la ironía que guarda el...
